Oxley War Memorial is a heritage-listed memorial at 1218 Oxley Road, Oxley, Queensland, Australia. It was built in 1920. It is also known as Oxley Memorial Park and Oxley Place. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 4 July 2006. == History == Today, the Oxley War Memorial sits on the crest of a ridge on the corner of Oxley Road and Bannerman Street in Oxley, where it is an important visual component of the streetscape setting on a busy arterial road.〔 The War Memorial was originally erected by local residents on a small parcel of reserved land on the corner of Oxley Road & Ipswich Road. It was unveiled on Saturday 12 February 1921 by the wife of Cecil Elphinstone, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Oxley. In 1929 Brisbane City Council acquired the land on which the monument stood from the previous proprietors who were the registered trustees of the reserve. The memorial was moved to its present location in the 1980s due to traffic requirements.〔 The memorial was funded by public subscriptions at an establishment cost of about £110. The mason was F Williams & Co of Ipswich, who was also responsible for the memorials at: * Toogoolawah, One Mile, West Ipswich & Western Suburbs Ipswich (1917) * Colinton & Mount Alford (1918) * Booval & Bundamba (1919) * Boonah, Maroon & Oxley (1920) * Esk & Toombul Shire at Nundah (1921) * the Weeping Mother Memorial at Gatton (c.1922) * Warwick (1923-4) * Ipswich Cemetery Cenotaph (1932).〔 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「Oxley War Memorial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
