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.
St Paul`s Cathedral Warrior ChapelPrint Page 
The Warrior Chapel was originally established by Bishop Halford in 1917, in the north aisle and moved in 1928 to the south aisle and commemorates the fallen of World War One. It is the Garrison Chapel of the 42nd Battalion, with the Battalion colours laid up in the Chapel, along with flags of the three services and the flag of the United States of America in token of the continuing connection between Central Queensland and the United States which began in World War Two with the stationing of a large number of troops near the City.
For a time Rockhampton was also the headquarters of General Douglas McArthur. The United States flag was presented to the Cathedral by the United States Consul General in a special ceremony in 1994.
