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.

Hawker & District Honour RollPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those from the District who served in World War One. The roll was presented to the residents of Hawker and District by members of the Hawker Picnic Race Meeting. The roll was restored by John Clarke.
The members of the Hawker Picnic Race Meeting held a balance in hand from their meeting on January 10, and decided to expend the money in the purchase of a suitable roll of honour to the memory of men who have enlisted from this district. The memorial has been erected at the railway station, and was unveiled on the 27th June in the presence of a large gathering. Mrs. A. S. Lindsay (mother of Lieut. W. W. Lindsay) unveiled the roll, and appropriate speeches were delivered by Messrs. John Smith, H. A. Condon, A. O. Whitington, and the Revs. Father J. Hanschke and H. J. Martin. The roll of honour contains 46 names of local soldiers, six of whom have died.
