Australian War Memorials



The National War Memorial, Canberra
commemorates Australia's 102,000 war dead on the
National Roll of Honour in Canberra.
They have a searchable database on their huge website.

Nearly every town, suburb and village in Australia has a war memorial.
There is a very useful website
which is broken down into States and then town listings.
When visiting you will be amazed at just how many memorials there are, most with a photograph.
The site also has a searchable name database.

War Memorials of Sutherland
