Inscription

Dedication 

Inverell War Memorial

Erected by the people of Inverell and district in proud and undying memory of their number who fell in the Great War. 1914–1918.

I with uncovered head,

salute the sacred dead

who went and who returned not - say not so!

Virtue treads paths that end not in the grave.

No ban of endless night exiles the brave
