Description / Background

The memorial is situated in the grounds of the old Tullymorgan Public School which closed in 1971. It consists of five old street lamp posts from the nearby township of Maclean, one each for the Boer War, First and Second World Wars, Korea and Vietnam. The posts were rescued from the bed of the Clarence River where they had lain for many years. These memorial lamps originally held perpetual flames, unfortunately these no longer burn. Nearby there is also a large concrete pillar surmounted by a sculpture of a lighthorsemen. At the base of the pillar is a garden in the shape of Australia.

Inscription

In memory of O. K. (Kevin) Shortt 29-9-1932 - 27-8-1994 Whose foresight and dedication made this park a reality.
