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.

Cheer Up Society Honour RollPrint Page 

A photographic honour roll donated by the Cheer Up Society commemorates those who served in World War One.
The South Australian Cheer-Up Society was founded by Alexandrina Seager. Its object was to support the soldiers in the First and Second World Wars as well as to bring them into contact with the 'highest type of womanhood'. During World War One they visited the soldiers at camp before they embarked for the trenches and provided them with supper, concerts and conversation. The society was publicly acknowledged as indicative of women's capacity, support and patriotism.
