Smithfield Honour RollPrint Page
The wooden honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One. The original roll was destroyed by fire and a new roll was unveiled in 1937.
The Smithfield district suffered a public loss when, in the disastrous fire of the Institute, the Honour Roll was consumed. With the resolution to rebuild the Institute, there was also the determination that the Honour Roll should be replaced the work being undertaken mainly by the ladies of the district. The task is now finalised, and the unveiling ceremony will take place on Saturday (to-morrow) evening, 20th March, Mr. R. J. Rudall M.P. (and a returned soldier) giving the main address.
Bunyip (Gawler SA), 19 March 1937.
