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 / 10th Australian Field AmbulancePrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the men of the 2nd / 10th Australian Field Ambulance and those of the 8th Division who died in service or were killed in action in South-East Asia in World War Two.
A few days before the fall of Singapore to the Japanese, on the 12th February 1942, St Andrew's Cathedral was cleared of its seats and taken over by 2/9th and 2/10th Field Ambulances. The Cathedral buildings and grounds were used as a hospital, accommodating a constant intake of sick and wounded, both troops and civilians.
