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.
30-November-2020 : We are aware that some organisations, individuals or companies may have received an email requesting donations to assist Monument Australia. These emails are not authorised by Monument Australia and we do not know the person who sent them. You should not make any payments to any bank account details in the email. We only use the Paypal “Donate” button on this webpage to accept donations.
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.
Griffith CenotaphPrint Page 
Griffith Cenotaph commemorates those from the district who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The Cenotaph was erected in memory of fallen soldiers.
Monument characteristics :
The Cenotaph is a 13.7 metre yellow-painted reinforced concrete structure in the form of an equilateral triangle. It was supplemented in 2011 with eight black polished granite stones which list the names of approximately 3000 service personnel.
Yesterday part of the Anzac Day celebrations in Griffith was the unveiling of the cenotaph in Banna avenue by Mrs. R. H. Bradbury, who worked strenuously in a campaign to raise funds for its construction.
The Murrumbidgee Irrigator (Leeton, NSW), 26 April 1940.
