Cemetery

The Nabawa cemetery reserve was surveyed in 1911. The first interment in the Nabawa cemetery took place on 14th August, 1911. A great deal of voluntary work was carried out by the early board members, their wives and other residents in clearing and fencing the cemetery and maintaining its appearance. In the years following the end of the 1914-18 war, the residents of the district united to provide a suitable memorial to the fallen soldiers. In 1926 this monument was erected on a reserved piece of ground within the Nabawa cemetery. [Information courtesy of the Chapman Valley HIstorical Society].
