	LEST WE FORGET

On the left-hand side of Soldiers Memorial Hall, behind the grey granite pillar, is a large bronze plaque, which lists over 500 locals who served in World War Two. [Unfortunately my photo of that was not sharp enough to do an accurate total transcription of it. [The transcription is included, as best as possible, in the World War Two Memorial waymark: Guyra WW2 Honour Roll]

In front is grey granite post/pillar, which has an arched top, with a cross design. On the western side of it is the following inscription (which is carved in relief):

     To
Honour Those
  who gave
their lives
 from Guyra
 & District
