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.

Wanneroo War MemorialPrint Page 
The monument was originally erected to commemorate those from the district who died in service or were killed in action in World War One. The names of those who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two were added at a later date.
An additional plaque was placed behind the memorial to commemorate a soldier from the district who lost his life in the Korean War. The rosemary hedge was planted behind the memorial to commemorate the burial of the Unknown Australian Soldier at Canberra on the 11th November 1993.
The Wanneroo War Memorial was originally unveiled on the 3rd September 1921 by Mr. H.P Colebatch, Minister for Education in front of the local Post Office on Wanneroo Road. Of the 23 men who enlisted from the Wanneroo District nine men fell and they are honoured on the memorial.
The West Australian (Perth) 5th September 1921.
