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.

Booyal Memorial HallPrint Page 
The hall was erected by the returned soldiers to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
On Friday last (Armistice Day), Lieut.- Colonel C. F. Corser performed the opening ceremony of a memorial hall at Booyal, erected chiefly as a result of the efforts of returned soldiers. The function took place in the afternoon, when a short service was held by Rev. Atkins, of Childers, after which Lieut.-Colonel Corser opened the hall, and unveiled the honour boards,one bearing the names of the fallen and the other, those who had returned. "The Last Post" was sounded, and one minutes silence observed.
Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser (Qld), 15 November 1921.
