Memorial information

Description

This one-off design of war memorial in Queensland features a rare German maxim machine gun war trophy set on a concrete cube with a stepped base. Above is a brass plaque, badly weathered, listing 24 names for World War I, and 8 names for World War II. On the plaque is a soldier walking forward with rifle and bayonet. Four corner pillars support a tiled roof and keep most of the weather off the gun. The base of the memorial is a painted concrete slab set on inlaid stones, and the whole is surrounded by a low concrete edging to garden beds. The whole is surrounded by a pipe and chain fence.
