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.

Fallen Soldiers MemorialPrint Page 
A monument commemorates fifteen South Perth soldiers who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
The monument consists of a semi-circular brick wall with stone capping, with a stone pillar at each end topped with a decorative metal fixture. In between the two ends of the wall is a stone plinth used to support a German 170mm field gun, which was captured during World War One.
The monument also contains a plaque in memory of the Unknown Australian Soldier which was unveiled on Remembrance Day (11th November) 1993.
The memorial was unveiled on Armistice Day 1923 by the Governor of Western Australia, Sir Francis Newdegate.
Sunday Times (Perth) 11th November 1923.
