Greta - Hansonville District Honour RollPrint Page Print this page

The honour roll commemorates those from the Greta - Hansonville District who served in World War One. The roll lists the names of those from the original Hansonville Honour Roll and others who served, 

The Gathering Place Stage 1 was opened on the 26th January 2015 to commemorate the ANZAC Centenary year. A memorial rock and plaque was placed at the site on the 18th October 2015 to commemorate those from the Greta - Hansonville District who served in World War One. A memorial wall was also unveiled at the site and the honour roll was unveiled in the hall. 

The Official Opening of the World War One Centenary of Anzac Memorial Wall and Plaque, along with the unveiling of the World War One Honour Board took place at the Greta Hansonville Hall on 18 October 2015. This day was chosen as it was closest to the anniversary date of a farewell picnic held for a large group of twenty one recruits. Almost three hundred people gathered at Hansonville to say ‘hail and farewell’.

The re-creation of the Greta-Hansonville Honour Boards and the Memorial Wall and Plaque evolved as a project of the Greta Heritage Group.
