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.

Kongorong Soldiers Memorial InstitutePrint Page 
The Kongorong Soldiers Memorial Institute commemorates those who served in World War One.
A public hall erected by the residents of Kongorong to the memory of the men from the district who served in the war was unveiled on Wednesday by the Mayor of Mount Gambler (Mr. C. L. Spehr). Mr. Spehr congratulated the residents on their enterprise and on the loyalty their sons had displayed in the war. With the words, "I declare this hall open to the honor and glory of the men who fought for Australia" he unlocked the door with a silver key.
The Advertiser (Adelaide), 9 October 1922.
