Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Pomaily School War MemorialPrint Page 
Pomaily School War Memorial commemorates past scholars of Pomaily School who served in World War One. Surrounded by a wrought iron fence, the obelisk sits on a sandstone plinth and is supported on a two tier concrete base. The school no longer exists.
The soldiers memorial obelisk was unveiled in Pomaily in December 1918. The community had sent 18 young men to war and at the time of the unveiling 3 had paid the supreme sacrifice. The Reverend W Smith, the Presbyterian Minister, delivered an appropriate address after which Mrs Smith unveiled the memorial.
