Weeping Mother Memorial, War memorial sculpture in Gatton, Australia
The marble figure of a sitting mother, positioned on rocks, holds a scroll in her left hand while resting her chin on her right hand.
The memorial, constructed for over 500 pounds through public donations, was unveiled by Governor Sir Matthew Nathan on November 14, 1922.
The memorial lists 68 local men who died in World War I, with additional inscriptions for 23 World War II casualties and two Vietnam War soldiers.
The Queensland Heritage Register monument stands illuminated at night through a light installed in 1933 by the Gatton Returned Services League.
The inscription on the scroll held by the mother reads 'Their names liveth for evermore,' symbolizing the eternal memory of fallen soldiers.
