World War I Memorials In Queensland
War memorials were erected in many towns of Queensland, Australia, in commemoration of the service and death of many Queenslanders in World War I. History Queensland had few civic monuments before the First World War. The memorials erected in its wake became our most significant monuments, recording the devastating impact of the war on a young Queensland. Over 58,000 Queenslanders served in World War I and over 10,000 of them died. No previous or subsequent war has made such an impact on Queensland. Even before the end of the war, memorials became a spontaneous and highly visible expression of national grief. To those who erected them, they were as sacred as grave sites, substitute graves for the Australians whose bodies lay in battlefield cemeteries in Europe and the Middle East. British policy decreed that the Empire war dead were to be buried where they fell. The word "cenotaph", commonly applied to war memorials at the time, literally means "empty tomb".

Cunnamulla War Memorial Fountain
Cunnamulla War Memorial Fountain is a heritage-listed memorial at John Street, Cunnamulla, Shire of Paroo, Queensland, Australia. It was built . It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. History It is not known by whom the Cunnamulla War Memorial Fountain was designed.

In September 1926, the Paroo Shire Council and the Diggers' Racing Club agreed to erect a fountain, expecting it to be in place ...
