Springton War MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates those who served in World War One and World War Two.
It was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One with the names of those who served in World War Two, including Women's Services, added at a later date.
The Australian grey granite monument erected by the residents to perpetuate the memory of those soldiers associated with Springton, who fought in the great war was unveiled on the 25th October by Mr. Angas Parsons, M.P., who was introduced by the Chairman of the committee (Mr. J. J. W. Naughton). The monument was veiled with the seventh war loan honor flag, and, when Mr. Parsons removed this, it was seen that the stone contained 13 names, four of which were those of soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice.

To teach that he who saves himself is lost
To bear in silence though our hearts might bleed
To spend themselves, and never count the cost, for others greater need.
This was their part.
