Windsor War Memorial Gates

The war memorial is a monumental gate, made from brick and sandstone, located at the entrance to Windsor's Memorial Park. The gates feature marble plaques, with honour roll names in gold lettering of those who enlisted in the Great War from Windsor and Pitt Town. Above the gates is a large steel arch with the words, "The Great War'. The foundation stone was laid on 1 December 1923 and the gates were unveiled on 24 May 1925. The plaque for the Second World War and Korean War was unveiled on 5 July 1959. The gates are accompanied by two guns on carriages, two flagpoles and two lamps.
