Nunamara War MemorialPrint Page

The War Memorial was originally unveiled in 1921 to commemorate those from the district who died in service or were killed in action during World War One. The memorial lists the names of those who died and those served in that conflict with the name of a soldier who lost his life in World War Two added at a later date. 

In spite of the very inclement weather, a large number of the residents of Nunamara district and of Patersonia, Patricks Rivers and still further afield gathered here on Saturday when Mr J.C Newton M.L.A.  performed the ceremony of unveiling the memorial to fallen soldiers of the district. He stressed that the need for remembrance was the debt we owe to our brave men, which the monument would always stand as a reminder. Lieut. Col. R.E.Smith also gave a short address.
Examiner (Launceston), 27th April 1921.
