It was built in 1959. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 27 August 1999.[1] HistoryThe Koumala War Memorial was erected in 1959. The dedication date of the memorial is Friday 18th April, 1958. [2] Funds for the memorial were raised by public subscription, arranged by the Koumala sub-branch of the RSL. The memorial was erected in honour of those who served in all wars and particularly honours the six local men who made the supreme sacrifice in honour of their country during the Second World War.[1] Six small trees have been planted by the school children with each tree representative of one the six men.[3] Temporary plaques displaying the names were placed beside each tree with the intention to replace them with more permanent plaques at some later stage.[1] DescriptionThe Koumala War Memorial is situated in a reserve next to the Koumala State School, facing Bull Street. The reserve is surrounded by a low chain wire fence with white painted metal frames. The setting in which the memorial is located is barren apart from new plantings of "Ned Kelly" Grevilleas, and a flagpole which stands directly behind the memorial.[1] The memorial is constructed of white painted concrete and comprises a double stepped base from which rises an obelisk on a square plinth. The front face of the plinth features a plaque with a commemorative statement from the citizens of the Koumala district. The obelisk is surmounted by a small Latin cross.[1] Inscriptions on the plaques on the memorial read as follows: Front Inscription[ Names ] Plaque :In Memory Of Those Who Gave Their Lives In Defence Of Our Country At the going down of the sunand in the morningWe will remember themTheir Name Liveth For EvermoreDedicated 2006 [ Names ] Plaque :Erected By THE CITIZENS OF KOUMALA & DISTRICT In Memory Of Those Who Made The Supreme Sacrifice In Defence Of Their Country.
