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.

Greenbushes War MemorialPrint Page 
The Greenbushes War Memorial was originally erected in memory of those who served in World War One. The memorial contains a series of plaques listing the names of those from the district who served and died in conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The memorial was erected at a cost of £350 and unveiled by the Prime Minister, Mr William Morris Hughes, on the 22nd August 1922.
There was quite a nice gathering at Greenbushes on Saturday last, when Miss Bertha Lindsay, daughter of the chairman of the Greenbushes Road Board, laid the foundation stone of the soldiers memorial to be erected on the bowling green site and facing the main street. The chairman of the memorial committee (Ald. J. Lindsay), Revs. F. F. Riley and T. Hurst, and Mr. J. R. Butler (State secretary of the R.S.L.), addressed the gathering. The honorary secretary of the committee (Mr. D. H. Gibbney) read a financial statement showing that the estimated cost of the memorial when completed was a little over £300, and of this amount £284 was in hand. Mr. Gordon Holdsworth is now proceeding with the erection of the memorial, and it is hoped to have the unveiling ceremony on Anzac Day, when his Excellency the Governor will be invited to be present and unveil the memorial.
