Strath Creek War MemorialPrint Page
The granite obelisk commemorates World War One, with a later engraving to World War Two on the side. It was originally erected to commemorate those from the District who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
The monument lists the names of those who died in service or were killed in action from both World Wars.
A public meeting was convened at the Strath Creek Public Hall in February 1918 to consider designs for a monument to be erected in memory of fallen soldiers from the district. At the meeting it was decided to open a subscription list with the object of raising sufficient money to erect the monument.
