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.

Alpini MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates the Alpini, which was an elite branch of the Italian Army, established in 1827, and specialised in mountain operations.
The Italian Government created the Alpini when it was determined that a special unit was required to be assigned to mountain defences. The Alpini served alongside British and American forces and withstood attacks from German and Austrian troops during World War One.
The monument was erected by the Associazione Nazionale Alpini of Adelaide.
