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.

58th Battalion & 7th Battalion Commemorative PanelsPrint Page 
The panels commemorate members of the Essendon Rifles 58th Infantry Battalion and members of the 7th Battalion who served in World War One.
These panels are a result of the vision of the late Trevor Sinclair, former Mayor of Moonee Valley, and a great contributor to our local community in many different projects.
The panels are a series of information boards which give details of the Essendon Rifles (58th Infantry Battalion), 58th Battalion VC recipient Rupert Vance Moon, Major General Harold "Pompey" Elliott commander of the 7th Battallion, the 7th Battalion and Lance Corporal William Scurry, who invented the self-firing "drip rifle" for which he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal.
