Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Fire Underwriters Honour RollPrint Page 
The Fire Underwriters Honour Roll is a framed photograph of the original roll which is missing. The roll commemorates those who served in World War One and was originally unveiled in 1916.
Many officers on the staffs of fire insurance companies in Adelaide have enlisted, and are now members of the Australian Imperial Forces. An honour roll board has recently been hung in the rooms of the Underwriters' Association, on which appear the names ot 50 men. On Friday, in the presence of a large and enthusiastic gathering of managers and employees, Mr. Tom Steele (Chairman of the Association) unveiled a handsome tablet. Patriotic addresses were delivered, and hearty cheers given for the men.
The Register (Adelaide), 31st May 1916.
