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.
South African (Boer) War MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates those who served in the South African (Boer) War. It is a stone structure surmounted by a street lamp with marble name plaques.
Deniliquin, Tuesday. This evening a lamp erected in memory of trooper Jas. Mason, one of the local volunteers, who was killed in the Ellinsburg engagement in South Africa last December was unveiled by the mayor (Cr. Kelly), in the presence of a large gathering. A number of soldiers under Captain R. Howe and Lieutenant J. Weir, headed by the local brass band, followed by the children attending the various schools, marched in procession from the town hall to the memorial which is erected at the junction of Cressy and Edward streets, where the ceremony was performed.
The memorial, on which is a tablet commemorating the death of Trooper Mason, also bears tribute to the seven local volunteers who were honored with various commissions, and gives the roll of about 30 volunteers from the district who took part in the war.
The Age (Melbourne, Vic), 24 December 1902.
