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.

Bairnsdale Primary School Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The wooden honor roll commemorates former students of the school who served in World War One.
BAIRNSDALE. — Lord Forster, the Governor-General, and Lady Forster, visited Bairnsdale on Tuesday afternoon to unveil two war memorials. The first ceremony was at the cenotaph in Main-street, erected to the memory of the fallen men of the shire. There was a large attendance of township people and country residents. The cenotaph cost over £700, and is a simple and chaste memorial. At the State school a handsome honor roll of blackwood, containing 390 names and a list of the fallen 80, was afterwards unveiled by His Excellency. This memorial cost £120, and the cost was borne the scholars and their parents.
Age (Melbourne), 11 October 1922.
