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.

South African (Boer) War MemorialPrint Page 
The obelisk commemorates the eight service personnel from the district who died in service or were killed in action in the South African (Boer) War.
Perhaps the most interesting, as well as the most important function held at Ulverstone on Boxing Day, was the unveiling of the memorial erected by public subscription to the memory of the men who enlisted from the Third Battalion to serve in the South African war. They were all well and favourably known amongst the residents of the Coast, and it was therefore most surprising that a large concourse had assembled to take part in the memory.
Dr. McCall M.H.A., addressing Colonel Legge, said he had been requested by the subscribers and committee to request him to unveil the memorial which they had erected, and to convey to him an expression of the goodwill of the men of the Third Battalion on this, the eve of his retirement, from the responsible position he had held for so many years in connection with the defence forces of the state.
Examiner (Launceston) 29th December 1902.
