Cessnock War MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
Behind the obelisk is a semi-circular wall containing multiple marble plaques listing the names of those from the District who served in the South African (Boer) War, World War One and World War Two. A nearby flagstaff and deck gun accompany the memorial.
Funds were received in 2013 to restore the names on the Boer War and World War One honour rolls. A further plaque was added to commemorate the ANZAC Centenary 2014 - 2018.

Dedication
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old :
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
