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.

Macleay River District Honour Roll Print Page 
The Hon. J. D Fitzgerald talked in considerable length, and spoke in appreciative terms of the Macleay district's fine record as shown by the Honour Board that day, eighty-three fine lads having made the last sacrifice. Mr. Fitzgerald then introduced Mrs. Joseph Simon, a sister of Ald. William O`Meara, and the mother of the first Macleay soldier to lose his life on active service in the war. He would ask Mrs Simon to unveil the Honour Board.
