Remembrance: Honouring a Victoria Cross Recipient
Beatham Street stands as a permanent tribute to Private Robert Matthew Beatham (1894-1918), a decorated World War I hero awarded the Victoria Cross – Australia’s highest military honour. During the Battle of Amiens on August 9, 1918, Private Beatham displayed extraordinary courage when he charged and single-handedly disabled four German machine gun posts despite being wounded. He tragically lost his life in a hail of machine gun fire on the second day of the battle, making the ultimate sacrifice for his country and comrades. As one of Brisbane’s designated Streets of Remembrance, Beatham Street ensures that the Anzac spirit and the exceptional valour of Queensland’s service men and women continue to be honoured in our everyday landscape.
