This War Memorial is made of granite and is topped by a marble angel known locally as the Semaphore Angel. It is to remember all those who fell in the Great War between 1914 -1919. It is also in memory for all those who served all over the world which include Borneo, Korea and Malaysia, Vietnam, South East Asia and the United Nations Operations.
The angel holds a leaf, like a palm leaf, that may be clue to which angel the statue represents.
