Memorial information
Description
The impressive World War I monument comprises a life-sized statue of an Australian soldier standing at ease on top of a tall polished granite column (red shaft and grey base and capital) rising from a trachyte pedestal, the latter material being more commonly used in NSW war memorials.
The pedestal bears copious gilt inscriptions, including Australia's total enlistments and deaths in war, and the names of the 325 locals who served in the war, including the 54 fallen.
A high stepped base adds to the monument's grandeur.

Thanks be to God who gave them victory.
