Blackall War MemorialPrint Page 
The monument originally commemorated those who died in service or were killed in action during World War One. It was unveiled on the 25th April 1927 by Mr. J. Minnis, a former Mayor of Blackall and a returned soldier.
The honour roll of those who died in service or were killed in action during World War Two was added at a later date. A Vietnam plaque was also added. The monument was rededicated on the 25th April 2009.
At a meeting of the War Memorial Committee on the 16th February 1927, the tenders for the war memorial which is to be a Cleopatra's needle type in grey granite was considered and the tender given to Petrie Brothers (Brisbane). The work was to commence immediately for unveiling on Anzac Day.
