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.

The wooden honour roll commemorates those from the Hexham Workshop who served in World War One. The roll was originally unveiled in 1916 and additional names were added at a later date.
At Messrs. J .and A. Brown's Hexham workshops on Saturday morning, the employees upwards of a hundred, several residents, and visitors from Newcastle and other places, including ladies, assembled for the purpose of unveiling a Roll of Honour containing the names of the firm's workmen from the workshops who on are on active service. The roll contains the names of nineteen men, three of whom have fallen, and six have been wounded.
The Rev. W. F. James presided and the roll was unveiled by Mr. F. A. Spence, general superintendent at the works of Messrs. J. and A. Brown. The roll is fixed in the vestibule of the general office, and is made of maple wood of artistic design and it is the work of Mr. Murray, of Hamilton and the names done in gold letters by Mr. George Dowdall.
