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.

Cross of the FallenPrint Page 
The cross commemorates men of the parish who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
An honour roll, seeking to perpetuate the memories of the 48 young men of the St. Mary's Cathedral parish who made the supreme sacrifice in the recent war was unveiled by the Most Rev. Dr. Barry (Coadjutor Archbiishop of Hobart), in the cathedral, on the afternoon of Sunday, the 10th inst., in the presence of a number of relatives and friends of the deceased lads.
The roll of honour is located in the porch of the cathedral. It takes the form of a large cross plate, cut in the shape of a cross, and on this appear the names of the deceased soldiers. The cross is mounted on a polished blackwood Celtic cross. The late lamented Monsignor Gilleran, V.G., who was a firm and ardent friend of the soldiers, initiated the work of having the honour roll made; but, sad to say, he was called to his eternal reward before it was completed. The sum of £50 was paid out of the late Monsignor 's estate to meet the cost of the memorial. — R.I.P.
