On the lower part of the northwest facing side of the obelisk (facing Macquarie Street), is a white marble tablet, for World War Two. It reads:
LEST WE FORGET
To the men of this District who
gave their lives & to those who
served in World War II 1939-1945
Burns F.
Bond K.
Chapman N.P.
Chapman E.
Carter C.
Ford H.P.
Flemming E.
Kell F.
Watson E.
Whatson H.W.
On the grass on each side of the obelisk are pairs of white-painted but plain wooden benches. The original unveiling of the obelisk was on Saturday, 11 November, 1922, but I could find no mention of when the World War Two plaque was added to the obelisk.
