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.

Congupna State School Honour RollPrint Page 
The marble honour roll commemorates former teachers and students from the school who served in World War One.
A gable-shaped honor roll in white marble has been competed by Mr A. E. Innell, stonemason, Shepparton, and erected in the Congupna State school. It is a handsome piece of workmanship. The lettering, which is in black, with gold embellishments, is as follows: "Pro patria. In honor of the teachers and pupils of this school, who served the Empire in the Great War."
The names indelibly engraved thereon are as follow:—Teachers: ; H. R. Wright;. A.M Blore, G.B.Osborne. Pupils: J. Anstis, J. Boyd, W. L. Coldwell, R. P. Crozier, W. Crozier, R. J. Evans, H.
