84 names from the district Nominal Roll have been forwarded on to the engraver for inclusion on four black granite plaques measuring (h) 1150 x (w) 900. Other associated information including the “ODE” will be included. All engraving will appear hi-lighted in silver.
The committee was most fortunate in securing local granite (blue/black metal) which will allow the Memorial [plaques] to be constructed 100% Australian made as opposed to the original quote using o/seas granite. The move to localize the components incurred an increase of approx 30%
The local granite when highly polished appears black with small silver/gray flakes throughout.
