Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia

World War I heritage

• A notable former resident was war hero Thomas Axford, a recipient of the Victoria Cross and the Military Medal. "Axford Park", opposite the intersection of Scarborough Beach Road and Oxford Street, is named in his honour.
• Anzac Cottage, the house at 38 Kalgoorlie Street, was built by local tradespeople in the space of 24 hours on 12 February 1916, to house returned veterans as well as to honour those lost in action. The first to live here were Private John Porter, a wounded Gallipoli veteran, and his wife. His lost mate, 19-year-old Leslie Wilkinson is also honoured on a small plaque on the flagpole in front of the cottage.
