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.

23rd Brigade 8th Division
Formed in 1940 as a field artillery support unit for the 23rd Infantry Brigade under the initial command of Lt. Col. H. B. (Jan) Sewell MC, with full strength of 730 officers and other ranks and 24 field guns.
During service in Darwin the unit experienced the first 50 of the 64 air raids on this small town of the time.
The unit later served and saw action in New Guinea and New Britain form December 1943 to December 1945.
