Description / Background

The Tumbarumba War Memorial is the dominant feature of the town's Memorial Park. It consists of a white marble pillar, positioned in front of a semi-circular wall. The wall is covered with multiple black marble plaques, which are inscribed with the names of those who served in the Second World War, Korea, and Vietnam. Set in the centre of the wall is a much larger black marble panel, which is inscribed with an honour roll for the First World War. The panel has a classical pediment on top. All the names and dedications on the memorial are highlighted in gold.

The memorial is adjacent to the Tumbarumba District Volunteers Boer War Memorial
