WE CANNOT HELP YOU WITH
- Booking functions at war memorial venues. The Register is a database and does not own, maintain, or hold any responsibility for the operations of any of the war memorial venues listed on the Register, such as halls or buildings. For enquiries such as function bookings, opening hours, exhibitions, or visitor access, please contact the owner or manager of the relevant venue directly. Owners or managers of war memorials are often local councils, RSL sub-Branches, committees, or property owners. We do not hold a list of contact details of owners and managers.
- Researching family members or individual veterans. A list of resources to assist you to conduct research is available on our Researching war memorials and veterans page.
