Corner of Sussex and Bazaar Streets
Maryborough QLD 4650
The memorial is constructed of grey granite rising to a 45 feet high obelisk surmounted by a life-sized winged victory in Carrara marble. On the front and back of the obelisk are raised crosses and bronze lettering. On buttresses forming a cross are life-sized statues, also in Carrara marble, representing the various military services: a soldier, a sailor, an airman and a Red Cross nurse - all standing at ease and based on Italian rather than Australian models. The pedestal has bronze laurel wreaths and tablets bearing the names local citizens who fell in World War I. The front buttresses have additional tablets bearing the names of those who fell in WWII. The monument rests on circular concrete steps and a rock-faced granite base. At night it is illuminated.
