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.

21st Infantry BattalionPrint Page 

The plaque which was planted at the base of a tree commemorates those who served with the 21st Infantry Battalion during World War One. The tree was planted on the 4th August 1934 and was No. 18 in the ballot.
The Battalion was raised in 1915 as part of the First Australian Imperial Force for service during World War One and formed part of the 6th Brigade, attached to the 2nd Division. It fought during the Gallipoli campaign and on the Western Front before being disbanded in late 1918.
