Muttaburra State School War MemorialPrint Page
The concrete obelisk and flagpole commemorate four service personnel (James O`Dwyer, Eena Devine, Robert Dickson and Albert Wilson) who were killed in action during World War Two.
Note : There is an error on the plaque on right side of the monument which has James O'Dwyer listed as a pastoral worker. He was the School Teacher at Muttaburra before he enlisted and was killed in action.
