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.

Photographs supplied by Sandra Brown
The honour roll commemorates those from the church who served in World War One. The roll was originally unveiled in 1917 and contained 28 names.
Wallsend and Plattsburg.
At the Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening a roll of honour, erected by the members of the church, in recognition of the church adherents, who had enlisted for service, was unveiled by Mrs. A. Sneddon, sen., in the presence of a large congregation. The Rev. C. G. Walkam, who occupied the pulpit, preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion. The roll, which was constructed by Messrs. V. Bennett and Son, of Wickham, is of stained Queensland maple, polished. It has inscribed upon it 28 names, of which two—Privates J. Wishart and R. Hyslop, Jun,—are marked with an asterisk, denoting that they have made the supreme sacrifice.
