Temora War MemorialPrint Page
The monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally unveiled in 1922 and stood at the intersection of DeBoos and Loftus Streets, and was moved to its present location in 1971.
The monument is in three parts with the central section being a 4.5 metre high trachyte obelisk with polished grey granite tablets bearing names from World War One. There are panels of wrought iron between the stone corner buttresses, and on either side are granite obelisks commemorating those who served in later wars.
The later granite obelisks were unveiled on the 6th October 1992 and the original obelisk was rededicated.
