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.

War Memorial ArchPrint Page 
The War Memorial Arch and gates at the entrance to the Memorial Park were erected to commemorate those who served in World War One.
In 1925, a War Memorial Committee was formed to build a suitable structure to commemorate the soldiers of the First World War. In April, a tender was accepted for J. Tickle to build the arch complete with iron gates. Melrose & Fenwick`s tender for a nearby monument was also accepted and four months was allowed for the completion of the work.
The Soldiers Memorial was unveiled and the Memorial Park opened by Councillor Barsby in November 1925.
Cairns Post (Qld) 27th November 1925.
