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.

The signing of the Armistice in Compiegne, France, between the Allies and Germany, officially ended the First World War on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month 1918.
All across the western front the guns fell silent.
The First World War was finally over after four years of unimaginable bloodshed and destruction.
In commemoration of the Centenary of Armistice we honour and remember those from Officer and the surrounding district that proudly served their country
