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.

Congregational Church Honour RollPrint Page 
24-June-2018
Photographs supplied by Bryan Cole
The wooden honour roll commemorates those connected with the church and district who served in World War One.
The Congregational Church was crowded on Sunday afternoon, when an ''Honor Roll," the gift, of Mr. and Mrs. Fred. Parmenter, was unveiled by Mrs. Parmenter. The Rev. L. W. Farr in his address spoke of the sacrifices and hardships the soldiers have to undergo. Mrs. Parmenter in unveiling the "Roll'' remarked that one of the young men, whose name was upon the "Roll," had made the supreme sacrifice, but she prayed and trusted God would spare the other to return to their loved ones. The 'Honor Roll' contains the names of 20 (sic) young men who have gone from the Church and district, is hung on the right hand side of the pulpit.
Bunyip (Gawler, SA), 9 February 1917.
Note: The Uniting Church was formerly the Congregational Church.
