Ulmarra & District War MemorialPrint Page

The monument was originally erected to commemorate those from the District who died in service or were killed in action in World War One with a plaque added at a later date to commemorate those who lost their lives in World War Two. 

Bronze plaques have now been added to commemorate those who served in the Korean War, the Malayan and Borneo confrontations, the Vietnam War and Peace Keeping Operations. 

The monument has been restored and the original white marble plaques have been replaced with plaques of black granite. 

There was a very large attendance at the unveiling of the Ulmarra soldiers and sailors memorial yesterday afternoon. The monument is near the approach to the public wharf, and contains 26 names. The unveiling ceremony was performed by the mothers of deceased soldiers and sailors. Mr. F. J. Yalden, president of the Ulmarra branch of the R.S.S.I.L. was in charge, of the proceedings, and, in addition to speeches by prominent citizens, an appropriate service was gone through. Prior to the ceremony, returned soldiers, under command of Lieut. Wilcox, and the Boy Scouts, under Troop Leader D. Parker, headed by the Grafton Salvation Army Band, marched through the streets to the monument, on which wreaths were deposited.
