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.

Charles Street State School Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One. The roll lists 215 names.
Containing about 215 names of old boys of the school who served in the war, and provided out of funds raised by the committee of the Parents' Association, there will be unveiled at Charles Street State School on Monday afternoon at 3.30 a handsome honour roll. Of blackwood and hardwood, in nice design, and measuring 8ft. by 5ft, 4in., the roll is a splendid piece of work, presenting the names in letters of gold.
The ceremony will be performed by the Mayor (Alderman George Shields), and an invitation is extended to the public, admittance to whom will be by the St. John Street entrance.
Examiner (Launceston), 10 November 1923.
Note: The “Tasmanian War Memorials Data Base”, compiled by Fred Thornett which is located at the State Library of Tasmania, contains a comprehensive listing of the names on this honour roll.
