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.

Northcote Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One.
At Northcote town hall on Saturday, in the presence of the mayor (Cr. Mason), Mr. Membrey, M.L.A. (member for the district), councillors and prominent citizens, a handsome marble memorial tablet, presented to the city by the mayor for 1914-15 (Ex-Cr. A. Tharratt), was unveiled. It was inscribed— In Honor of the Loyal Citizens of Northcote who have Enlisted for the Defence of the Empire in the Great War.
The brave dig never, Being deathless they but change Their country's arms for their country`s heart. A company of the Northcote citizen forces, under Lieutenant Fargner, formed a guard of honor. The tablet was handed over by the donor to the mayor, who accepted it on behalf of the municipality. A roll of honor 18 feet long, and containing over 200 names, was placed in a cavity of the tablet.
Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954), Tuesday 5 October 1915.
