Scope and content

Queensland Women's War Memorial is situated in Anzac Square, Ann Street, Brisbane, Queensland. The Brisbane Women's Club launched a campaign in 1929 to raise the funds to create a memorial as a tribute to those who fought in World War One. Due to the depression the campaign was unable to reach the goal of 1000 pounds. Mayo worked on the carved stone panel and drinking bubbler from 1929 to 1932. It was unveiled on 24 March 1932.
This file contains two folders. One folder contains notes and letters regarding the Queensland Women's War Memorial. It includes: a letter of acceptance of her design from the Queensland Women's Memorial Committee (17 May 1930); letters and estimates by the city architect for the fountain; letters from Nora B. Harris, President of Brisbane Women's Club and member of the the Queensland Women's Memorial Committee including one referencing Mayos illness and trip to Hobart (16 Mar 1931); letter from Mayo to Mrs Harris on the progress of the work, delays and payments (9 Nov 1981); a post card of the Memorial ; a handwritten note outlining Mayos design proposal for the Memorial (undated); and the poem with the section to be carved highlighted for Mayos consideration.

The second folder has a blueprint, plan and notes for the drinking fountain.
