Description / Background

Two cement gate pillars with marble plaques bearing a Roll of Honour, established on the site of the former Sawyers Gully School c. 1917-1918.

Over time, the pillars fell into disrepair. In November 1999, prior to restoration, material submitted to the Abermain Heritage Preservation Society Newsletter, 'The Pit Whistle', issue no. 6, provided a list of names taken from an earlier photograph (pictured). That list included the names T. Calsay, C. Page and G. Page, which are not listed on the restored plaques. The restored gate was unveiled on 28 January 2006.

The memorial is located approximately 4km from Abermain Public School, on Old Maitland Road between Sawyers Gully Road and Native Dog Hill Road.
