John Monash (Monasch) born in Melbourne, Australia on 27 June 1865, the son of German Polish Jewish migrants, can be researched in any military history encyclopaedia or in fact by just ‘Googling’ his name on the internet. His history and list of achievements are long and far too many to detail in this brief summary. However, might I say that reading his history is well worth the effort and I can assure you that his deeds will amaze you. I have found that the deeds are better labelled on more than one man and in more than one lifetime.

An announcement was made in the weeks leading up to the Centenary of ANZAC by Judy Landau, President VAJEX Aust. She stated that it gave her great delight to announce that VAJEX Aust (Victorian Association of Jewish Ex & Servicemen & Women Australia Inc) has successfully raised the required funds to build a new Victorian Jewish Memorial after the style of the historic Memorial located in the Jewish section of the Melbourne General Cemetery. After an extensive two year process, Judy has single-handedly sought letters of support, raised the funds, and obtained approval from the City of Port Phillip.

Monash Graveside Service 2014
Monash Service Announcement 2014
Graveside Service For
General Sir John Monash
GCMG KCB VD
83rd Anniversary
died 8th October 1931
Brighton General Cemetery

As we barely scraped together a minyan this year, the committee has no alternative but to stop having the graveside services. It seems ironic that in the centenary of the commencement of World War I, the community have stopped supporting this event. Even though VAJEX Australia will no longer run this event, we will continue to honour his memory.
