It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == The Goombungee War Memorial was unveiled on 11 December 1920 by Major General Sir Thomas William Glasgow. It was designed by Henry James (Harry) Marks and produced by masons R C Ziegler and Son of the Downs Electric Monumental Works. The stone memorial honours the local men who fell in the First and Second World Wars.〔 In 1919, the residents of Goombungee wrote to the New South Wales Memorials Advisory Board for advice regarding its proposed memorial. The board referred their request to the Queensland Institute of Architects and Toowoomba architect Harry Marks subsequently prepared the design.〔 Henry (Harry) James Marks was born in Toowoomba in 1871. After training with his father James, also an architect, he entered into partnership with him in 1892. He was considered a creative designer and was responsible for many buildings on the Darling Downs as well as two Roman Catholic Churches in Brisbane. In 1925 he became an Associate of the Queensland Institute of Architects, becoming a Fellow 1929. He died in Toowoomba in 1939 after spending his entire career there. The memorial is an unusual example of his work.〔 Although the monument was produced by well known Toowoomba masons R C Ziegler and Son, it is likely that the digger statue was imported from Italy.〔 The firm of R C Ziegler and Son was established in Toowoomba in and produced many memorials throughout south western Queensland. The family company moved to Bundaberg where it was still operating in 2014.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.zieglermemorials.com.au/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goombungee War Memorial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
