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.

Gawler Soldiers Memorial Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those from Gawler who served in World War One.
The Gawler roll of honor was unveiled by Lady Butler in the Institute on the 5th July 1917 in the presence of a large audience. The roll contains over 400 names. Mr. A. H. Harris, vice-president of the institute was in the chair. Lady Butler, in unveiling the memorial, returned thanks to the donor (Mr.H.G Bischof) president of the institute. It is a strikingly executed work, and in its way, perhaps the finest work of its class in South Australia.
Chronicle (Adelaide) , 14th July 1917.
