Legerwood Carved Memorial Trees: In 1918, the residents of Legerwood, in Tasmania, Australia, planted nine trees in memory of the young men that went to fight in World War I and never returned. But time took its toll and by the turn of the century the trees were declared a safety risk and cut down. The stumps were preserved and carved into the likeness of each soldier. Various scenes depicting world War One were also carved on one tree.
