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.

8th Division
Ammunition Sub Park
This plaque commemorates the memory of those who gave their lives for their country when the unit fought the Malayan Campaign from 8th December 1941 to 16th February 1942.
The Malayan forces capitulated on 16th February 1942 and the members of the unit became Prisoners of War. During captivity, the unit served in Singapore, Malaya, Borneo, Burma, Thailand and Japan.
They were equal to the task until released in 1945.
