Ramornie Cenotaph

The Ramornie Cenotaph is situated in a park on the side of the Gwyder Highway at Ramornie. It is a marble obelisk standing on a pedestal, which is mounted on a concrete base. Pine trees grown from seeds from the original Lone Pine tree from Gallipoli stand along the rear of the memorial. A long row of rosemary has been planted as a hedge at the front of the park. A single flagpole stands behind the hedge in line with the monument.

The cenotaph was originally erected to commemorate the soldiers from Ramornie who served and fell in the First World War. An inscription in black lettering on one side of the marble pedestal honours the fallen servicemen. An additional two sides of the memorial's pedestal are inscribed with the names and rank of the 14 fallen servicemen from the war. A crossed rifle and bayonet design intertwined with ivy is carved into the obelisk above the names on one side of the memorial. An inscription was later added on the fourth side of the pedestal to commemorate those from the Jackadgery, Cangai, and Eatonsville districts who served and fell in all conflicts. A black marble plaque honouring those who served and died in the Second World War, Korea, Malaya, and Vietnam has been added later to the concrete base.

The Daily Examiner, 23 May 1922, reported on a meeting held at the Ramornie Meat Works where the details of the unveiling ceremony were discussed. The obelisk, together with a machine gun trophy, were unveiled on Empire Day, 24 May 1922. The unveiling ceremony was performed by Mrs J Allen and Mrs Winkler from Ramornie, with speakers including the Bishop of Grafton and Mr D J Lobbau, with singing by local school children.

Two gardens are situated on either side of the obelisk, one contains a brass plaque laid on ground rock commemorating the 70^th Anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong in South Korea; the other garden contains a brass plaque commemorating animals that served in wars. Five pine trees stand towards the rear of the park, under which is situated a remembrance seat, featuring the last lines of The Ode.
