Description / Background

Rough, black granite pillar with inscriptions and an honour roll for the First World War on polished black marble tablets, highlighted in gold paint. An additional plaque has been added to acknowledge and commemorate those who have fallen in other wars. On top of the memorial are two statues of soldiers, made of white marble, one fallen holding his forehead and the other is standing over him giving protection.

Next to the memorial, but within the fenced enclosure, is a Second World War Field Gun painted 'Desert Tan', dedicated in honor of those who served in the Second World War.

Note on veterans' names: Due to the engraving quality on the tablets, there was some questionable accuracy with the 'C' and 'G' lettering.
