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.
The Shire of Toombul War MemorialPrint Page 
The War Memorial was originally erected to commemorate those from the Shire of Toombul who served in World War One.
The monument had replacement marble and sandstone panels inserted in the faces in the 1995 'Australia Remembers' campaign and the site and war trophy were restored and rededicated in 2002 and the memorial now commemorates all conflicts.
The memorial and war trophy were dedicated by the Governor of Queensland, Sir Matthew Nathan on the 12th November 1921. The "Diggers " Band played selections during the afternoon and a combined choir conducted by Mr J.A.J. Ferguson sang Kipling's "Recessional ".
The Queenslander (Brisbane), 19th November 1921.

They shall grow not
old, as we that are
left grow old;
Age shall not weary
them, nor the years
condemn.
At the going down
of the sun and in
the morning
We will remember
them.
