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 the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

St Peter`s Cathedral War Memorial CrossPrint Page 
The cross commemorates South Australian men and women who served in World War One. A plaque was added to the cross in 2018.
An impressive service will be conducted at St. Peter's Cathedral on Tuesday afternoon, when, immediately before the opening of Synod, the war memorial cross will be dedicated by the Bishop of Adelaide (Right Rev.Dr. Thomas). The cross, which is a fine and imposing structure, has been erected "in memory of all from South Australia, men and women, living and departed—soldiers, sailors, chaplains, nurses, and others—who served in the Great War, 1914-19." After the dedication ceremony His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor (Sir George Murray) will address the people. The Rev. E. H. Fernie, B.A., will also speak.
