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.

Launceston Church Grammar School Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates 512 former students of the school who served in World War One.
A service was held at the Launceston Church Grammar School on June 13 in connection with the dedication and unveiling of a Roll of Honour to the old boys of the school who had served the Empire during the Great War. After prayer and the singing of Kipling's "Recessional," the Mayor (Major Evans), in unveiling the Roll of Honour, said he regarded it as an honour to be present that afternoon to assist in a small way in paying a tribute to the men who had once been scholars at that institution, and who had responded to the call of Empire. The headmaster of the school was entitled to their most grateful thanks for providing the Roll of Honour board that it was his (the Mayor's) pleasure and privilege to unveil.
The Mercury (Hobart) 14th June 1926.
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.
