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.

These emails are not authorised by Monument Australia and we do not know the person who sent them. You should not make any payments to any bank account details in the email. We only use the Paypal “Donate” button on this webpage to accept donations.
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 volunteers from the district who died in service or were killed in action during the South African (Boer) War. The memorial is an obelisk with a lamp mounted on the top.
The monument that is being erected to the memory of Rylstone boys who fell in the late Boer war will soon be completed, and I think the unveiling of it should be commemorated in a fitting manner by some magnate. It has been a long-winded job, and having waited so long for its completion the public are entitled to expect from the committee some sort of befitting display at its dedication.
Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW),
5 November 1903.
