Dunoon District War Memorial Middle Image Image Image 0 / 0 - Expand Display full screen carousel Prev Next Description / Background The Dunoon District War Memorial is a decorative concrete pillar, surmounted by a white glass lamp and a sculpture of a laurel wreath. Attached to the sides of the pillar are white marble tablets, inscribed with a dedication and honour rolls for the First and Second World Wars. The corners of the pillar are marked by concrete columns The whole is positioned on two concrete steps and stands approximately 3 metres tall. The memorial was originally unveiled on 25 April 1934, in honour of those who served in the Great War. A large crowd gathered on the grounds of the Dunoon Hall to witness Mrs Munro reveal the memorial from underneath a Union Jack flag (Northern Star, 2 May 1934). By October 1947, the names of those who served in the Second World War had been inscribed on another tablet on the memorial. It was also at this stage that it was decided to install the lamp. The unveiling was held on Anzac Day 1948, before the "united service" at the hall. Mr A.H. Mazzer, President of the Dunoon-Channon RSL performed the unveiling, which was followed by two minutes silence and the sounding of the Last Post by Mr S. Virtue (Northern Star, 18 October 1947; 27 April 1948). Various commemorative services are held at the memorial and the hall during the year.
