Welcome to Overseas Memorial Search
Overseas Memorial Search is the Office of Australian War Graves (OAWG) register
of both Government and privately-constructed memorials for Australian Service
men and women who served in conflict or peacekeeping activities. Only memorials
located overseas are listed because OAWG is not responsible for war memorials
in Australia. Australian memorials are normally the responsibility of State and
Local Governments.
Method of Compilation
This register has been compiled from material held by OAWG and is updated as
information is made available. If you believe the information displayed on this
website is incomplete or incorrect, or should you have information about a
memorial outside Australia not already on the site, please contact the
Official Commemorations & Memorials Team or telephone 02 6289 6054.
Alternatively contact DVA General Enquiries and ask for the Office of
Australian War Graves.
Additional Information
If you have an enquiry about Australians who have died as a result of their
service, during war periods or subsequently, contact the
OAWG Information Officer or phone 02 6289 6510.
You can also obtain information about Commonwealth war cemeteries and Memorials
to the Missing from the
Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).
If you know of a private memorial that is in need of refurbishment, it may be eligible for a funding grant.
