Description
The Randwick War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was built in the early 1920s and later altered after the Second World War. It is made of local limestone and features a wheel-headed cross atop an octagonal column with a moulded foot, all supported by a square plinth and a three-stepped base.
The plinth is inscribed with black lettering on three sides. The west face honors the men of the parish who fell in the Great War, stating: "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-18 THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE." At the bottom of this face, there is a plaque commemorating two individuals who died during the Second World War: Henry John Asher, aged 31, killed in action on May 19, 1940, and Andrew Woodward Rex White, aged 35, killed in action on May 29, 1945. The names of the men who were killed during the First World War, along with their dates of death, are inscribed on the north and south elevations of the plinth.
The memorial is situated in a small enclosed area surrounded by walls, which is accessed through iron gates and railings.
