Forest Hill War Memorial (Digger)

The impressive sandstone monument rises to a height of approximately 4.5 metres and is surmounted by a life-sized statue of an Australian infantry soldier standing at ease and resting one hand on the tree trunk support - the pose repeatedly used by Lowthers for their war memorials and possible a unique Queensland variant of the familiar soldier statue. The tall pedestal is circular and has a recessed portion with a moulded laurel wreath and five small columns. The monument rests on a concrete stepped foundation and a rusticated base of brown sandstone, in contrast with the white sandstone used for the pedestal and statue. There is a metal flagstaff in front of the monument, while the memorial reserve is surrounded by a fence of posts and chains.
