Timor-Bowenvale WWI Obelisk - Veterans Description for Public
The Timor WWI Obelisk, at the corner of Cousin Jack and Timor Roads, is dedicated to the Bowenvale members of the AIF who gave their lives in the Great War 1914-18. It was designed by Messrs Gwilym and Jones and unveiled on Easter Monday 26th April, 1926. Mrs E. M. Simmons of Timor, mother of Pte Percival Simmons, 26, who was killed in France in August 1918, performed the ceremony.
The obleisk rests inside a grassed reserve with little planting except for a mature peppercorn tree, it shares the site with tennis courts, picnic seats and a table.The obelisk is constructed from granite with three steps of smoothly finished granite with rough faced risers with smooth finished margins. The base is a cubic shaped piece of granite with rough finished faces with smooth finished margins to each face. This supports a smooth faced block which again supports a taller smooth faced block of darker stone which bears the inscribed panel. This is capped by a scotia shaped projecting cornice which is the base for a tapered needle of stone with the top finished as a pyramid. There are no inscriptions of individual names.
