Mornington Honour RollPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those from the Shire who served in World War One.
The honour roll was refurbished and relocated to its present site and rededicated on the 8th November 1998.
An impressive ceremony was performed at Elliott Square on Sunday, when the shire honour roll, bearing the names of 120 men who enlisted from Mornington, or whose homes were there during the war period was unveiled by Brigadier General Elliott in the presence of about 1,000 relatives and friends of district soldiers. About 60 returned men attended. The Boy Scouts and Cubs formed a guard of honour, and Scout L. Cheyne sounded the "Last Post."

Served In The Great War
[ Names ]
Plaque :
THIS HONOR ROLL LISTS THE NAMES OF THE
MEN AND WOMEN FROM
THE MORNINGTON AREA WHO SERVED DURING THE
GREAT WAR (1914 - 1918).
The Honor Roll Was First Erected In 1925 At Elliott Square On The Corner Of Main Street And Queen Street, Which Was Then At The Centre Of The Mornington Township. As Time Passed, It Became Clear That Elliott Square Was No Longer The Appropriate Place In Which To House Such An Important Piece Of Mornington`s History. On the 6th October 1998, The Honor Roll Was Moved To This Site In Mornington`s Memorial Park.
