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.

Mount Alford War MemorialPrint Page 
The Mount Alford War Memorial contains a 'digger' statue which is the smallest on a war memorial in Queensland. It commemorates those pupils from the school and those of the district who had enlisted in World War One.
The unveiling of the memorial statue to the pupils of the Mount Alford School and also those who had enlisted from that centre was performed in the school grounds on Saturday by Mr J.D. Story (Under Secretary for Education). Mr Story, who was introduced by the chairman of the school committee (Mr T W Lightbody), paid an eloquent tribute to the brave boys at the front and to the noble mothers who had given of their best. Visitors from all parts of the district were present. The tablet on the monument contains 29 names.
The Brisbane Courier (Qld), 29 May 1918.
