War Memorial ClocktowerPrint Page
The War Memorial Clocktower commemorates those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally erected to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action during World War One.
Underneath the tower, a black stone cenotaph engraved with an honour roll for World War Two and later conflicts has been installed at a later date. Several other commemorative plaques are attached..
On Tuesday the committee to which the work has been relegated met, and after consideration of the various prices for the clock for the memorial tower in Broadway, accepted that of Mr. A. C. Spiers. This clock will be imported direct from Scotland, and will be selected by Mr. Mitchell (father of Mr. F. Mitchell, Cootamundra, who will supervise its erection in Junee). It will stand about forty feet high, and have hands three feet long. The names of the soldiers will be in trachite, under the clock.

The Junee Soldiers Memorial, which for years was only a vision, is about to be a reality. A memorial clock has been erected in Broadway in honour of our dead. The unveiling ceremony will take place on May 21 (Empire Day).
