Corrimal War MemorialPrint Page 
Corrimal War Memorial commemorates those who from the District who died in service or were killed in action in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The memorial incorporates the original pillars of the entrance gates to the Memorial Park which was established to commemorate those who died in World War One. The two outer pillars and a plinth commemorate other conflicts. Behind the memorial is the Bellambi Soldiers Memorial.
Railway street, Corrimal, was thronged with people on Sunday afternoon last to witness the unveiling ceremony of the Soldiers' Memorial Gates and the official opening of the Memorial Park. Dr. Joseph Park, who accomplished much in helping soldiers and their dependents while resident at Corrimal, performed the ceremony. The Corrimal Town Band, conducted by Mr. R. Grant, was in attendance, and the gates and street were liberally be-flagged. Constructed of Tilba Tilba granite, the pillars supporting the iron gates are ornate in design. Polished marble slabs are attached to the front of each pillar. One of these bears in gold lettering, the following inscription: This entrance was erected by the citizens of Corrimal and district in memory of their late fellow- citizens who fell in the great war, 1914-1919, and whose names are inscribed on the panel opposite. They loved honor more than they feared death. Anzac Day, 1922. On the other, of course, are the names of 37 soldiers. The work was carried out by Custer and Company, Sydney, and cost £500, the designing was done by the Local Government Department.
