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.

Soldiers` Remembrance HallPrint Page 
The foundation stone of the Soldiers Remembrance Hall, South Road Richmond, will be laid on Saturday afternoon, January 27. The money for the hall which will cost approximately £350 to build, has been raised by fetes, competitions, and other means during the past two years. When the idea of such a building was conceived, the Keswick and Richmond sub-branch of the Returned Soldiers' League was busy with schemes to alleviate distress in the district, but in 1932 the land was purchased freehold. The building which will be built of brick and equipped with all conveniences, a stage and dressing rooms will measure 40 feet by 74 feet.
The Advertiser (Adelaide), 17 January 1934.
