Ulverstone Primary School War MemorialPrint Page 
The War Memorial commemorates 33 former scholars who died in service or were killed in action during World War One. It was erected by the Ulverstone Parents Association. An additional plaque has been placed on the memorial in memory of Frank MacDonald, M.M., an Australian World War One veteran, notable for having been the last surviving veteran from Tasmania, and the last surviving decorated Australian veteran.
His Excellency the Governor arrived in Ulverstone last evening at 6.30, and today he will be motored through a large stretch of our back country, visiting five state schools. On Wednesday forenoon a trip up the river will be made. In the early afternoon he will pay another visit to the local state school to lay a foundation stone to the War Memorial to the boys who have fallen at the war from this school.
