Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Stratford War MemorialPrint Page 
A monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The monument was originally erected to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One with the names of those who who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two added at a later date.
Additional plaques have been added to commemorate those who have served in Post World War Two conflicts.
The unveiling of the memorial to the fallen soldiers of the Avon Shire Council at Stratford on Sunday afternoon last was witnessed by a large gathering from all parts of the shire.
