Description

DescriptionErected in 1919, on the Green Street side of Cameron Park. The monument was erected by the residents of Booval, Silkstone, and Newtown in honour of those who enlisted in World War I. There was a drinking fountain beside the monument at one time but has since been removed. The foundation stone was laid on 27 July 1918 by David Alexander Gledson, MLA. It is believed the notable sculptor Daphne Mayo carved the soldier. The stone was unveiled on 15 February 1919 by Governor of Queensland, Sir Hamilton Goold-Adams.
