The original War Memorial, of 1922, for the First World War, has been subsequently altered, to include this World War Two Honour Roll, and a plaque for Post-WW2 Conflicts. Assistance in transcribing the names of the WW2 Honour Roll has been gained from the Monuments Australia website photos, as some details were covered by attached poppies, in my photos taken in December, 2017.
The original War Memorial, for World War One, consisted of the similar white marble plaque (as the WW2 one), but there was a machine gun mounted on the memorial. That plaque is now mounted on a vertical wall above the Honour Roll for World War Two. As a [male] Registered Nurse it was heart warming to see that there are FOUR local women that are included on the Roll. The details are:
