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.

Municipality of Richmond Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates the people of South, Central and North Wards of the Richmond Municipality who served in World War One.
Residents of the municipality of Richmond claim emphatic pride that their district has done as well as the best and better than most in supplying men for the firing line. residents of the South Ward met in the Town Hall on Saturday afternoon to consider the question of a memorial. Councillor Grice suggested that subscription lists be sent round to the residents to secure money for the erection of a monument in the town park to the memory of fallen soldiers. He thought a roll of honour containing the names of the men who had enlisted from the district should be erected in the Richmond Town Hall.
The Mercury (Hobart) 11th February 1919.
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.
