Description | The memorial, which has been erected on the bank of the river, immediately above the Lower Southgate public wharf, is of column design. It is protected by a galvanised-iron railing, supported by substantial pillars at the four corners, of an eight feet square enclosure laid with cement. In the centre, resting on a solid concrete foundation, rises a reinforced concrete basement in three divisions, three foot square at bottom and five feet six inches high. In this are inserted five marble panels. On the basement worked in stone stands a round column with finely moulded base and cap surmounted with a gun shell on top. On front of the column in carved in high relief a rifle and sword (nearly full size), with flags and ornament intertwined. The memorial complete stands about thirteen feet high and was designed and erected by Messrs. Matheson and Collins, Grafton.
