Memorial information

Description

A life-sized digger standing at ease on top of a marble stepped base. Four pillars support the digger. To the left of the memorial is a plinth carrying an Honour Roll erected by the residents of the Granville district in honour of their brave boys who enlisted during the Great War 1914-1919, with 53 names. The plinth and memorial are enclosed by a small white concrete border, similar to the garden edges, and the area is covered with gravel. The whole memorial precinct sits within the grounds of the State School and is maintained by the staff and students.
