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.

Spalding War MemorialPrint Page 
The War Memorial, erected by the residents, commemorates those from the district who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
The unveiling of the Spalding War Memorial took place on September 10 before a large assembly of residents of the district, Mr J Marron, sen, president of the war memorial committee, in an introductory speech, referred to the desire of the residents, felt both during the time that the boys were away and since their return, to show in some suitable manner their recognition of the great services to freedom and justice so unselfishly given by the young men of Spalding. Mrs Brogan, a mother of one of those whose names are inscribed on the monument, was given the honor of performing the unveiling.
Northern Argus (Clare, SA), 22 September 1922.
