Campbells Creek Primary School War Memorial - Veterans Description for Public
Campbells Creek Primary School War Memorial is characterised by a granite obelisk set on a large slab of concrete paving, in a grassed and tree setting. It comprises a smooth faced granite column with pointed top resting on a stepped smooth faced granite pedestal, the whole resting on a stepped base of massive rough faced granite blocks. The memorial names the local men who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The dedicatory inscription facing the main road (west face) says that the memorial was 'Erected by the Campbells Creek Returned Soldiers to the memory of their comrades'. A list of seven names is followed by the words 'who paid the supreme sacrifice in the great war 1914-1919. Gone West'.
After the Second World War, a second list of nine names prefaced by the words,'Also to the memory of our comrades' and followed by the words 'Died World War 1939-45', was added to the south face. A separate plaque in tribute to Arthur Rivers Ford, who was blinded in the First World War, was added after his death in 1954. Another tribute plaque, to Allen F. Gabriel MM, was added by the Campbells Creek Memorial Committee, after his death in 1962.
