Moss Vale First and Second World War Memorials

Description

A rough-hewn trachyte obelisk, with honour rolls and dedication plaques for the First and Second World Wars attached. The memorial is located outside the front of the Moss Vale Services Club and is surrounded by a concrete footpath and grass. The grassed area is bordered by a low sandstone brick wall. The obelisk was dedicated on 8 January 1922.

At the side of the area is a second memorial in the form a black-iron arch with a dedication and a clock.

O valiant hearts who to your glory came
through dust of conflict and through battle flame,
