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.

2nd / 12th Field RegimentPrint Page 

The plaque commemorates those who served with the 2nd / 12th Field Regiment that served during World War Two.
The 2nd / 12th Field Regiment was an Australian Army artillery regiment formed as part of the all volunteer Second Australian Imperial Force for overseas during World War Two. Recruited in the state of Victoria in early 1940, the 2nd / 12th was initially formed as a medium artillery regiment, but was later converted to a field regiment due to a lack of medium guns.
