About
The memorial is a metal panel surrounded by a metal frame, supported by two metal posts. It is located in a garden bed at the corner of Queen and Maude Streets in Barraba, NSW. It lists servicewomen from the town who served in the Second World War. There are also eight photographs of individual servicewomen, as well as the emblems of the Royal Australian Air Force (R.A.A.F.), Australian Army, and Royal Australian Navy. The Barraba Military History Group was instrumental in the design and graphics of the panel. Donations from Tamworth Regional Council Councillor Mr Warren Woodley O.A.M. and Gary and Neridah Barsley O.A.M. made the erection of the memorial possible. The memorial was dedicated on Remembrance Day, 11 November 2014. It was unveiled by Mr Woodley and Mrs Joyce Abra, who served in the R.A.A.F. in the war. Note: Information for this listing was provided by Robert Sweeney, a Barraba historian.
