Starcevich memorial monument, World War II memorial monument in Beaufort, Malaysia.
The Starcevich Memorial Monument is a slender rectangular stone pillar roughly one meter tall that narrows toward the top. Two commemorative plaques are mounted on its surface with relevant information.
The memorial was built to honor events from World War II that took place in this area during 1945. A second plaque was later added to expand the historical record.
The plaques on the monument are written in two languages, showing the lasting connection between Australian soldiers and the local community. People gather here to honor those memories together.
The monument sits between the railway line and the District Office in Beaufort, making it easy to find and access. There is enough space around it to stand and view the stone comfortably.
The plaques tell an evolving story: the original inscription was later joined by a second one added in 1990 after suggestions from veterans about what should be remembered. This expansion shows how the memorial grew over time.
