This war memorial gate is the entrance to a children's playground in the 'very' small town of Cudal, in the central west of NSW.
This memorial was originally erected to commemorate those from the local area who served in WWI, this can be seen due to the names of different battle grounds being displayed at the top of each of the four main pillars. These four battlegrounds are France, Gallipoli, Palestine and Belgium. Since WWI additional wars have been added to the memorial.
The memorial is made up of four large pillars, and two smaller pillars. The two inner large pillars commemorate The Great War. The two outer large pillars commemorate World War II. The far left smaller pillar commemorates the South African War.
Since its dedication in 1930 additional wars and honour rolls have been added to commemorate those who have served from the area.
