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.

World War One MemorialPrint Page 
Local officials designed a memorial which honours each Lilydale local soldier who served in World War One. Interpretative displays tell the stories of those who fought in the conflict.
Around 300 Lilydale locals signed up to fight in the conflict and 55 were killed.
The small farming community was once known as a German town because of the large number of immigrants who had settled there from Germany. Many headed back to Europe to fight against their former countrymen.
