Coonabarabran War MemorialPrint Page
The monument was originally erected to commemorate those from the District who served in World War One.
A plaque commemorating those who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two was added at a later date.
The unveiling of the Soldiers' Memorial Clock Tower took place at Coonabarabran on Wednesday, when a large crowd was present. Brigadier-General Cox performed the unveiling ceremony, and congratulated the people on the beautiful tower they had had erected. The tower cost £1300, and is built of local stone. An appeal for funds resulted in over £200 being subscribed. There is an additional £900 in hand.
