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.

South Australia Railways Goods Department Mile End Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates South Australia Railways Goods Department employees at Mile End who served in World War One.
On Wednesday, at noon, the Railways Commissioner (Mr. James McGuire) after having been introduced to the staff of the Mile-End goods department by the stationmaster (Mr. H. Davies) in an appropriate speech, unveiled the roll of honour in memory of those who has enlisted from this station for active service. The roll is beautifully worked in blackwood, and contains the names of 53 men, eight of whom made the supreme sacrifice. Messrs. W. E. Vawner and W. Kirton thanked the Commissioner on behalf of the station for the sympathy he had shown in connection with the movement.
