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.

35th Infantry Battalion Print Page 
The plaque commemorates those who served with the 35th Infantry Battalion during World War One.
The Battalion was raised in late 1915, the bulk of the battalion’s recruits were drawn from the Newcastle region and thus it was dubbed “Newcastle’s Own”. R eflecting the demographics of the area, there were a high proportion of miners among the battalion’s original members.
During World War One the battalion saw service on the Western Front in France and Belgium before being disbanded in 1919.
