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.

Hawthorn Rowing Club War MemorialPrint Page 
Through the generosity of one of its vice- presidents, the Hawthorn Club has been enabled to erect a handsome memorial to those of its members, who gave their lives to the Empire. The memorial is in the form of a granite column which has been erected in the municipal reserve adjoining the boathouse. The unveiling ceremony, which was carried out by Cr. Sambell, was witnessed by a large gathering, including many lady supporters of the club, who were afterwards entertained at afternoon tea. Club fours provided a good deal of interesting rowing, and an entry of five crews was received. The committee had provided well for the entertainment of the visitors, and a string band enlivened the proceedings.
