This blue plaque commemorates the Soldiers' Riots on Valentine's Day 1916, where soldiers from a number of training camps in the Liverpool area rioted in protest of their conditions. The riots caused widespread damage, injury, and the death of a recruit, and led to the introduction of 6pm closing in NSW hotels, a law which lasted for almost 40 years.
Visit the blue plaque at Liverpool Station, Bigge St, Liverpool NSW 2170 and scan the QR code there to learn more.
