Description / Background

The monument consists of two tiered granite blocks upon which is placed a tall obelisk of polished marble. The entire memorial sits on a concrete base surrounded by eight small granite pieces. A roll of honour is inscribed on the memorial. Originally dedicated for the First World War, names for the Second World War have been added at a later date.

  • P Hockey may be Cecil Percy Hockey.
  • N Sutherland may refer to James Alisine Sutherland of Tilba Tilba, who is recorded as KIA.
  • All other status codes are taken from information in the Australian War Memorial Roll of Honour, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database and the National Archives of Australia.
  • On the memorial, H A MacDonald is given as H A McDonald, C M Morris may be on as G M Morris, and C Livingstone may be on as G Livingstone.
