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.

Christ Church War MemorialPrint Page 
Two stained glass windows commemorate those from the Parish who died in service or were killed inn action in World War One.
To perpetuate the memory of those connected with Christ Church who sacrificed their lives in the Great War, a memorial window erected by the parishioners, was unveiled on Sunday. In the two bases are inscribed the names of the 15 fallen soldiers. The window was unveiled by Major Lowe, president of the local branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A., and the occasional sermon was preached by Chaplain -Colonel Dexter. D.S.O., M.C.
Age (Melbourne), 13 November 1923.
