Woy Woy War MemorialPrint Page 
The War Memorial commemorates those from the District who served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One, and the names of those who died in World War Two were added at a later date.
A monument erected by the citizens of Woy Woy in remembrance of district soldiers who fell in the Great War was unveiled by Brigadier General Alex Jobson, DSO. A large gathering was present, and included a half squadron of local Light Horse, under the command of Captain G. Adcock, the Kincumber Orphanage Band, and a contingent from the Gosford Training School. The chairman of the committee which erected the monument stated that a sum of about £500 had been contributed by the public. The monument, which is in the form of an obelisk of local sandstone from the Wondabyne quarry, with marble tablets and lead everlasting letters bearing the names of those who served, is erected on the reserve in the town, facing across Brisbane Water.
