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.

Woodbridge War Memorial Print Page 
The monument commemorates those from Woodbridge and Birch's Bay who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
Among the many centres that have taken the first opportunity of showing public appreciation of what their soldiers have done in the war, the name of Woodbridge will always be prominent. A few months ago the Chief Justice (Sir Herbert Nicholls) unveiled a handsome honour board- a souvenir of the men from the district who enlisted and fought - in the public-hall. Yesterday the Mayor of Hobart (Colonel Snowden M.H.A.) unveiled an artistic memorial column to those who fell in the great war.
Although the day was close and oppressive, there was a good representation from the districts adjoining Woodbridge. The column stands immediately before the state school where it will daily remind the rising generation of the noble sacrifice of their forbears. It was erected by Mr E. G. Luckman, of Hobart at the cost of £60 raised by public subscription and is in the form of a marble obelisk mounted on two bluestone steps.
Mercury (Hobart, Tas.), 24 February 1920.
