Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands in Evenwood Cemetery, just within the gates (not listed). Approximately 5m tall, the Dunhouse freestone memorial takes the form of an obelisk, square on plan. A wreath is carved in low relief on the front face of the obelisk. The obelisk rises from the cap of the pedestal below, also square on plan and with a three-stepped base. The base is enclosed by a square border and low kerb. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN/ THANKFUL REMEMBRANCE/ OF THE MEN OF/ EVENWOOD, RAMSHAW AND LANDS/ WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE/ DURING THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The commemorated names are inscribed on the other faces of the pedestal and on the riser of the top step of the base.
