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.
Malvern War MemorialPrint Page 
Malvern War Memorial commemorates those who served in World Wars One and Two. The memorial was originally erected to commemorate those from Malvern who enlisted in World War One.
Monument characteristics :
A bluestone obelisk
A beautiful granite memorial, in the shape of a Victoria Cross, is the reminder to future generations when in the Malvern Cricket Ground, that the boys of Malvern went forth and did their bit in the Great War. On afternoon in the presence of about 3000 people, the Mayor of Malvern (Cr. J. D. Evans) formally accepted the memorial from " A Grateful Englishman," on behalf of the citizens. The ceremony was a very impressive one. The Malvern Tramways Band led the singing of the National Anthem, and hymns were also sung by the large assemblage, including Kipling's Recessional, "O God, Our Help in Ages Past," and "Abide With Me."
