Description / Background

These two memorials are located at the corner of Bendemeer and Court Streets in Bundarra, NSW. 

One is an obelisk made of Uralla granite, atop a granite pillar inscribed with a dedication and roll of honor for the Great War. The monument stands on three polished concrete steps. A marble sculpture of a wreath and two crossed swords is attached to the body of the obelisk. The monument was designed by M.W Hardy of Narrabri, patent no. 12678. It was established in 1917–1918 and dedicated on 20 April 1918. An additional plaque has been added to the base of the monument at a later date, dedicated to 2nd Lt. Frederick R. Forster MC.

The second memorial is a concrete wall, constructed of three panels. Attached to the wall are several polished stone tablets, listing the names of those who served under the headings of Second World War, Service Women, Korea, Vietnam and In Camp.
