Starcevich memorial monument, World War II memorial monument in Beaufort, Malaysia.
The Starcevich Memorial Monument features a one-meter-tall stele with a rectangular cross-section that tapers toward the top, displaying commemorative plaques.
The monument marks the location where Private Leslie Thomas Starcevich earned the Victoria Cross by single-handedly defeating Japanese defenders in June 1945.
This memorial represents the bond between Australian military forces and the people of Beaufort through its bilingual inscriptions and annual ceremonies.
Located between the railway line and District Office in Beaufort, the monument stands at coordinates 5.343165 latitude and 115.746814 longitude.
The memorial bears two plaques: the original inscription detailing Starcevich's actions and a 1990 addition commemorating his life after veterans suggested it.
