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.

Methodist War CasualtiesPrint Page 
The four paned stained glass window showing the death by stoning of Stephen, the first Christian killed for his faith, commemorates the fifteen hundred Australian Methodist soldiers who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
There are 1500 names on the Methodist Church of Victoria honour rolls of members who died on active service, and steps are being taken to place in the Wesleyan Church, Melbourne, an appropriate memorial window.
