Galston Cenotaph - Galston, NSW, Australia - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

The sandstone obelisk is the original memorial, for those locals who went off to 'the Great War'. There was 60 locals who went to WW1, and their names are listed on four white marbles plaques, that are one on each of the four sides of the obelisk. There doesn't seem to be any 'order' to the way that there is 15 names on each of the marble plaques. Those Killed In Action have an "*". The four plaque lists are:
