A concrete and brick pavers path leads to a short (~1.2 metres high) polished black granite obelisk. It sits on a six-sided 15 cm high polished black granite step, which is mounted on a rectangular concrete step. The brick pavers lead further to the north to the original Remembrance Garden, where there is a sandstone stela with a white cross, surmounted by a WW1 soldiers tin hat. There is a simple brass plaque attached, which reads:
IN MEMORY
OF THOSE WHO SERVED
LEST WE FORGET
As my transcribing of the obelisk below shows, (Errors and Omissions - mine!) while the names are in two columns on each of the four faces of the obelisk, and mostly in alphabetical order, there is an exception, for a later entry. The names are for all those that attended any of the conflicts mentioned, with no differentiation as to which, or when. They read:
WEETHALLE
WAR MEMORIAL
Commemorating those
from Weethalle and district
who served in the Armed
Forces during the
Boer War, WWI, WWII,
Korea, Malaya
and Vietnam conflicts
