MOLOGA – SOLDIERS MEMORIAL

At the meeting of all interested in the erection of a Soldiers' Memorial in Mologa, it was decided unanimously to erect a stone column in honour of all the soldiers who took part in the Great War for freedom's cause. And also in memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice from the Mologa district. It is to be erected on the west side of the north and south road running through Mologa, subject to the consent of the shire council and Railway department being given. It was also resolved that Cr Jones, and Messrs’ Skirving and Fyffe wait upon those who were unable to be at the picnic and give them an opportunity to contribute towards the cost of the Memorial.

MOLOGA

The residents of this district have worthily placed on record their estimation of their soldiers by erecting a handsome stone column which was unveiled on Wednesday 24th ult. by Mrs. C. Marlow, to whom the honor was justly due as is well known by the fact that five of her sons volunteered, of whom three are in soldiers’ graves in France.
