    Campbellfield War Memorial - Physical Description 1

    Located on the edge of the Seth Raistrick Reserve, and nearby the Scots Church precinct, but possibly relocated from closer to the highway. This is a fairly standard granite obelisk form of War Memorial bearing the following inscription:

    ERECTED

    IN HONOUR OF THE MEN

    OF THE DISTRICT WHO TOOK PART

    IN THE GREAT WAR

    1914 - 1919

    Also inscribed are the names of 40 local men who took part in the war, although it does not indicate casualties. The form of the memorial is quite sophisticated with a six sided smooth, tapered obelisk sitting on a plinth in three sections, the middle one inscribed. The whole thing is supported on a concrete block, probably from a past restoration, as the bottom of the plinth has been patched with the same concrete.

    In good condition although the concrete slab detracts and suggests it has been relocated in the past.
