History

Maintenance History: The memorial was enhanced in 2018 as part of the First World War centenary commemorations. New granite plaques replaced the old ones and were installed on the existing memorial structure. At that time, five names were added to the memorial, as well as the rank and service or regiment of the fallen. The exact date the memorial was built and inaugurated is unknown, but it is believed to have been consecrated in the early-1980s.
