Liston-Amosfield First and Second World Wars Memorial Middle Image Image Image Image Image Image Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background This war memorial is a freestone pillar, standing on a three-step freestone platform. On top of the pillar is a life-like statute of a digger in uniform. He is standing at arms with a reversed rifle. Attached to the four sides of the pillar are black marble tablets, which are inscribed with the names of soldiers from towns of Liston, Amosfield, and Willson's Downfall who served in the First and Second World Wars. Veterans who were killed in action or were wounded are marked with a star. The original monument was designed by A. Batstone and the sculptors were the Bruce Brothers of Toowoomba. It was first unveiled at the Amosfield Public School on 27 November 1920, by Lieutenant Colonel Bruxner M.L.A. (The Daily Mail, 8 December 1920). In the 1960s, the memorial was moved to the Liston Public School (now also closed). More recently, it underwent restoration work, supported by funding from an Anzac Centenary Local Grant from the Australian Government, awarded to the Liston War Memorial Trust on 12 June 2014. Works included setting the monument on concrete, within a circle of manufactured concrete blocks. A flagpole was installed, the fencing was replaced and the surrounding garden beds were planted out with shrubs.
