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.

Burra District Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates those from the District who served in World War One.
The Honour Roll was unveiled by the Governor of South Australia (Sir Tom Bridges) on the 19th March 1927. The honour roll is of handsome design in highly polished blackwood, with curved pillars and surmounted with a canopy under which is the Australian Coat of Arms. The roll bears 600 names including 100 who died. Returning to the front of the institute His Excellency, pulled a cord which drew the covering away, said, "To the glory of God and the undying memory of men of Burra and district who fought and died in the Great War, I unveil this honour roll."
The Register (Adelaide, SA), 22 March 1927.
