Starcevich memorial monument

Starcevich memorial monument, World War II memorial monument in Beaufort, Malaysia.

The Starcevich Memorial Monument is a stele about one metre tall with a rectangular cross-section, tapering slightly toward a flat top. A metal sheet set into the front carries an English inscription; a smaller plate added in June 1990 sits beneath the regimental letter "T" and the Australian Imperial Force coat of arms.

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 metal plaque bears an English inscription; a smaller plate added in June 1990 sits beneath the regimental letter "T" and the Australian Imperial Force coat of arms. It was proposed by Stanley Toomey, a comrade of Starcevich from the war. The stone was raised by the citizens of Beaufort in gratitude for the town's liberation.

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.
