A picture and explanation of the memorial from the Accy observer in 1919.

Fascinating details, thank you.

Fittingly, as well as a great sculptor, the figures were cast by the most famous art founders of the day, Barlanti's of London.

Having served my time as a pattern maker, and looking at the intricacy and detail of a lot of figures on war memorials, I've come to the conclusion that those bronze figures on Clayton's war memorial were produced by the lost wax process, and then welded together.
