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.

St Thomas` War Memorial HallPrint Page 
The hall was built in 1922 as a church hall and dedicated as a memorial to the Australian, particularly local soldiers, who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
The Governor-General, who was accompanied by Lady Forster, laid the foundatlon stone of a war memorial hall at St. Thomas' Church of England at North Sydney on Saturday afternoon. The Rev. H.N. Baker, M.A., informed his Excellency that great numbers had gone to the war from the parish including a former rector, the Rev.Horace Crotty, and 100 had died, among them the curate, the Rev. W.L. Ford who was killed at Jutland. The new hall will cost about £5500, and the memorial vestibule £500 more. About £1600 had been collected towards the cost during the past 12 months.
