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.
West Maitland District VolunteersPrint Page 
The polished wooden plaque commemorates West Maitland District volunteers who served in the South African (Boer) War.
The plaque was originally placed under two rifles of the era, one of which is believed to have belong to Trooper Fred Avard, who lost his life in the conflict.
