Ogema Cenotaph

Unveiled by Lieutenant Governor Newlands on 28 June 1923, this memorial was erected by the town of Ogema in honour of the local war dead of the First World War. A plaque was added to the front of the memorial to honour the local war dead of the Second World War at a later time.

The Ogema cenotaph, located at the south end of Main Street, was dedicated in 1923. Funds were raised by the veterans and the community to erect a memorial stone in honour and memory of the 42 men of the Ogema district who gave their lives in WWI. A second stone was added to honour the 20 men who lost their lives in WWII. Every year, on November 11th, a memorial service is held at this cenotaph.
