Gayndah War Memorial

Gayndah War Memorial, War memorial in Gayndah, Australia.

The Gayndah War Memorial is a war memorial located in Gayndah, Queensland, Australia, situated on Capper Street. It displays five stone columns with a bronze honor board listing 270 local service members, with special markings indicating those who were killed in action.

Harold Wilson of Cooranga station privately commissioned the memorial and donated it to the Rawbelle Shire and Gayndah Town Councils; Bernard Corser MLA unveiled it on 8 September 1919. Ernest Gunderson designed and produced it, honouring the 270 local men who served in the First World War, including the dead. In the 1960s renovation replaced the original brass lettering with the present nameplates, and around 1995 lost items were reinstated.

The honour board was modelled by Ernest Gunderson and applied to a blackened brass framework, mixing Australian and British motifs with a large number of symbolic emblems. Gunderson, who migrated from Norway and set up his metalworking firm in Brisbane, regarded the Gayndah board as his finest work. It stands outside in the square between the Post Office and the Library.

The memorial stands in an open location on Capper Street, easily accessible and hosting annual remembrance ceremonies such as ANZAC Day celebrations. Visiting during commemorative events offers a special experience, though the site can be viewed at any time while exploring the town.

Ernest Gunderson, a Norwegian immigrant metalworker, created this memorial as one of his most accomplished works featuring intricate bronze craftsmanship. The structure was decorated with artillery shell elements, reflecting the region's military history in its design.
