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.

Richmond State School Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates 60 former students who served in World War One.
Empire Day was celebrated at the Richmond State School, a large number of parents and friends attending. The flag was saluted and the children gave their Empire Day pledge. The school honour roll was then unveiled, and the names of 60 old scholars who went to the front were read out by the, Warden (Mr. R.S. Grice).
The flag was then half-masted, and the names of those scholars who made the supreme sacrifice were read by the head teacher (Mr. F. R. Cooley), and the children repeated- "For these were great men and their name liveth forevermore." The "Recessional" was then sung by the gathering.
The Mercury (Hobart), 30th May 1922
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.
