Sandstone plinth with black marble gilt name plates, set within a rock garden with flagstaff. A classic 105mm Howitzer gun, donated by the French government in recognition of Australia’s wartime assistance during World War I, sits proudly atop the memorial. Unlike many of it contemporaries, its wooden wheels have survived, and with the modern preservation techniques adopted by the local Council, should remain onsite for many years to come.
