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.

St John`s Church Honour RollPrint Page 
The polished metal honour board with marble frame and ornate engravings surround the inscriptions which commemorate 304 men of the church within the diocese of Kalgoorlie who died in service or were killed in action during World War One.
The roll was placed on the northern wall of the church edifice as a permanent memorial to the fallen soldiers.
It is 6 and a half feet high and 2 feet wide. The honour roll is mounted on a slab of Springhill Marble from New South Wales, and the designers and engravers were Messrs C. R. Wilson and Co. of Murray Street, Perth.
The unveiling and dedication of the Honour Roll took place on the 27th November 1921. The dedication ceremony was performed by Archbishop Riley and the unveiling of the roll by General Hobbs.
Kalgoorlie Miner (WA), 28th November 1921.
