Description

White painted concrete structure with Bronze Honour Rolls set within the structure, and set within grassed park lands and flanked by date palm trees.

Saturday was a "red letter" day in Eugowra, when the Honor Roll on the splendid monument erected in the park, was unveiled. A procession was formed in front of the Police Station, and marched to the monument, where a very impresssive service was held by the Rev. Mr. Pitcher, and attended by practically the whole of the district. A collection was taken up and £135 was raised in a few minutes. The whole of the money wanted was raised.
Western Champion (Parkes, NSW), 30 April 1931.
