Piggabeen and Cobaki First World War Roll of Honour Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background This war memorial consists of a white marble honour roll dedicated to those from the two North Coast villages of Piggabeen and Cobaki who enlisted in the First World War (pictured left). It is decorated with the crossed Union Jack and Australian flags. The roll was unveiled in the Piggabeen Public Hall on 6 July 1922 and was reported in the Tweed Daily on 8 July 1922. The large crowd of locals and visitors from surrounding districts listened to addresses by the Reverends Lilley and G. Evans and by Mr A.H. Warne, who represented the district. The newspaper described the roll as a "beautiful marble slab, erected in the hall and bearing the names of twenty men who enlisted from the near locality, two of whom paid the price and their names are distinguished on the list by a crown." Mounted above the monument was a trophy machine gun presented to the district. This was the gun captured by Private Roy Norvill's battalion (the 25th) two days after he was killed. The gun is no longer on site.
