Wellington's Memorial

Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate (NSW), 23 May 1933. 

At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the imposing Wellington Soldiers' Memorial will be unveiled. The three bronze figures, mounted on the marble base, have taken seven years to complete, and cost £3000. The figures are about three-quarters of a ton. The central and most important figure is Australia mourning for her sons. Her face is sad, but proud, as befits the mother of men who have died in battle, and she gazes in token of eternal remembrance upon the sword of her warrior sons, whose  names are inscribed in bronze upon the granite base below.

On her left is seated a figure of History, who has inscribed in the book of fame resting upon her knees the heroic deeds of Australia's bravest and best. Opposite her sits a figure typifying courage and fortitude; the spirit of the women of Australia; the Spartan mothers who saw their sons go forth to war and return, some with their shield and some upon them. The marble work of the monument, which is situated in Cameron Park, was carried out by W. Larcombe and Son, of Dubbo, who also erected the bronze statues.
