Dayboro War Memorial

The memorial consists of three main elements plus a flagpole, located on the southwest side of the swimming pool, within Roderick A Cruice Park. The main sandstone memorial (1920, relocated 2011) consists of a column with dome on top and an unusual rifle and ammunition belt carving, with pillars and crossed flags, set on a grey granite stepped base. The front marble plaque carries the names of the 15 men from the Dayboro District who died during the First World War, while marble plaques to either side list the 34 men who returned. To the northwest stands and arc of three granite columns, each with five sections; each section bears the name, details, and in most cases the image, of one of the 15 men who died. In front of the three columns is a granite plinth, resembling an open book, displaying four relief maps of the battlefields where the Dayboro men died.
