Dedication plaque

This memorial was erected by the people of the Gloucester district to the undying memory of our glorious dead.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We shall remember them.

This tablet was unveiled by Brigadier-General G. Macarthur Onslow, C.M.G., D.S.O., V.D.

20th June, 1931.
