Burraga War MemorialPrint Page Print this page

The Burraga War Memorial is stone obelisk displaying two marble name plaques, commemorating those who served in the World Wars. The memorial was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One with the names of those who served in World War Two added at a later date. 

Funding was received in 2015 to restore the memorial.

An impressive ceremony at Burraga on February 5 will be the official unveiling of the town's newly completed soldiers' memorial. Mr. H. Reynold's, president of the Burraga Progress Associatlon and also of the Memorial Committee, on a visit to Bathurst yesterday received an assurance from the Mayor of Bathurst (Ald. M. J. Griffin) that he and other prominent Bathurstians will visit Burraga for the ceremony.
