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.

Officers of the 12th Battalion Honour RollPrint Page 
The photographic honour roll commemorates the Officers of the 12th Battalion who served in World War One.
The 12th Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the Australian Imperial Force (A.I.F.) during World War One. Half of the battalion was recruited in Tasmania, a quarter was recruited in South Australia, and a quarter from Western Australia. With the 9th, 10th and 11th Battalions it formed the 3rd Brigade.
HOBART, Wednesday. - The annual meeting of the 12th Battalion Association took place at the R.S.&.l.L.A. rooms in Macquarie street last night. Mention was made of a collection of photographs of officers of the 12th Battalion, started in 1917 by Colonel Elliot, which collection now totalled about 150 photographs out of a possible 190. Copies of the collection in the form of a group would soon be available for members and the general public for cost price of £2/17/6 unframed and £3/5/ framed. One order had already been received from Lieutenant Potts, who was managing a "bit of a cattle ranch" of a million acres in West Australia.
