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.

Cecil Plains Memorial HallPrint Page 

The hall was erected to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
There is a movement on Cecil Plains for the establishment of a School of Arts as a soldiers' memorial. In soliciting support the hon secretary, Mr. W. S. A. Grimes, writes : The public of the district of Cecil Plains, both returned soldiers and civilians, desire to erect some memorial to those of their friends and relatives who made the supreme sacrifice in the late war. They have decided that School of Arts, to be known as "The Soldiers' Memorial School of Arts," would be a fitting memorial. Such an institution while being of great benefit, would serve as a memorial for all time.
The Brisbane Courier (QLD), 24 July 1923.
