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.

Mounted Infantry DivisionPrint Page 
Two seats commemorate the Mounted Infantry Division which served in World War One.
The Division was formed in March 1916 and assigned to 1 ANZAC Corps as its mounted formation, together with other support groups. The first General Officer commanding was Major General Harry Chauvel. These troops carried out operations in the Middle East after having been deployed (dismounted) at Gallipoli. The insignia of the New Zealand fern leaf over the Australian boomerang became the tactical formation sign for the ANZAC Mounted Infantry and is depicted on the seats.
The seats are constructed from Australian polished granite to complement the existing memorial.
