Rylstone Boer War Memorial

Location	Rylstone Memorial Hall,Crn Louee & Cudgegong Streets, Rylstone, Mid-Western Regional - New South Wales, Australia
Type	memorial
Description	White marble obelisk with a light on the top and engraved symbols and lead lettering. The monument that is being erected to the memory of Rylstone boys who fell in the late Boer war will soon be completed, and I think the unveiling of it should be commemorated in a fitting manner by some magnate. It has been a long-winded job, and having waited so long for its completion the public are entitled to expect from the committee some sort of befitting display at its dedication. Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW), 5 November 1903. Read more...
