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.

Unley City Honour RollPrint Page 
The large wooden honour roll commemorates those from the City of Unley who served in World War One. Names now listed on the roll are 1641 men and 27 nurses.
His Excellency the Governor, Sir Harry Lionel Galway, K.C.M.G., D.S.O., will unveil the Unley Honour Roll in the City Hall on Sunday, September 15, at 3 pm., when citizens are cordially invited to be present. The board is constructed of Tasmanian blackwood, and is a magnificent piece of workmanship. It has been erected on the western wall of the City Hall, and at present contains the names of nearly 1,200 men who hare enlisted from the Municipality of Unley; also the names of fifteen nurses. Stars, of which, there are 305, are placed opposite the names of those brave men who died on active service.
This means that, irrespective of the wounded, out of every four Unley boys who enlisted one has paid the supreme sacrifice. It is noteworthy that the honour board contains the names of twenty-six soldiers who have gained military distinctions. The unveiling will be a solemn ceremonial befitting the occasion.
The Mail (Adelaide), 7 September 1918.
