Description of Memorial: I came across this memorial while looking for any centenarian headstones in this cemetery. It is located toward the east side away from the main gate.
The memorial consists of a granite slab on a concrete pad. On the granite are the insignias of each of the armed services and a list of local veterans who gave their lives in service to their country.
There are two flagpoles situated at the site, used on holidays and other special events.
