Memorial FountainPrint Page 
The fountain was erected by the women of Rosewater to commemorate those who died since returning from World War One.
A war memorial in honor of Rosewater soldiers who were killed at the war was unveiled by the Governor on Saturday afternoon. From the Rosewater district 300 soldiers went abroad, 65 of whom lost their lives. Of those who returned eight have since died, and to perpetuate their memories a drinking fountain has been installed close to the granite monument.
