War Memorial
Australia

The monument is located in the median strip reserve on Roe Street. The memorial is a painted white plain plinth atop a square planned monument. Four faces of the monument list names of those who served in the First World War (1914-18).

The names are alphabetical and provide a list of those who went from the Pilbara to serve. The names are under the slogan ‘For King and Country’. An asterix indicates those who “Died for the Empire”. There are 143 named individuals and another 34 are listed on one face; 17 are marked as having died. Many of the prominent families of the early colonial period are named on the monument, for example, Withnells, Meares, Fisher, Forrest, Davis, Watson, Richardson, Paterson, Mackay, McRae and others.
