| Description | The memorial is considered to be the finest of its kind in the State, and it cost £250. It is a massive structure, stands 20ft. high, and is composed of a life-size figure of a New South Wales Lancer in khaki uniform, standing at ease with his lance. The figure is executed in hammered copper, and preserves the realistic appearance of the Lancer. On stands round the pillar, which is of marble, and also on a square block of marble, with a freestone base above the pedestal, are inscribed the names of Troopers Burgess, Black, Fetting, Gaggin, Goodall, Jones, Matheson, M'Namara, and Ogle, who fell in the war. |
