Wee Waa War MemorialPrint Page 
The clocktower was originally erected to commemorate those from the District who served in World War One. The clock tower also features an World War One Honour Roll from the Loyal King Edward Lodge of Wee Waa.
An additional plaque was added in 1994 to commemorate those from the district who served in other conflicts. The clock tower was refurbished in 1999. A further plaque was added in 2018 to commemorate 100 years since the end of World War One.
Twenty years after an appeal was first made for subscriptions, the Wee Waa War Memorial was unveiled yesterday. The memorial is a handsome clock tower, 38 feet high, with an electrically driven four faced clock, illuminated inside and out. The bricks are a local product, and give a richness of colour not obtainable in the machine-made article. The cost was £550. A ball tonight is expected to wipe out a small deficiency. Almost £100 was given at the conclusion of the opening ceremony. A procession to the tower was headed by the newly-formed Narrabri Light Horse Troop. Speakers included the Minister for Lands, Mr Sinclair and Mr.Scully, MP.
