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.

St Paul`s Anglican Church Soldiers Memorial Print Page 
A stained glass window and brass honour roll commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
At St. Paul's Church of England, Camperdown, on Sunday morning, a large congregation was present at the dedication of the Soldiers' Memorial Window and Tablet. The church had been beautifully decorated with greenery and snow-white chrysanthemums, which were clustered beneath the pulpit drapings. Venerable Archdeacon Bennett, of Warrnambool, was assisted by Rev. E. S. Yeo, in conducting the service, which was slightly different from the usual morning service, including special prayers and exhortations, and a special Litany in commemoration of the fallen.
Lessons were read by Mr. John Manifold. Archdeacon Bennett, in his stirring sermon, made an eloquent appeal to the large congregation, all the members of which were touched by his fine address. He then dedicated the window and tablet, and unveiled the tablet. The service concluded with the National Anthem and the Benediction.
