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.

Detention District Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates those from the district who served in World War One.
On Thursday afternoon, in the presence of a large gathering of residents, the local roll of honour was unveiled by Mrs. A. Dennis, supported by Councillors Spicer and Boys. The roll contains upwards of 50 names, and is a magnificent piece of work. The board is of solid figured blackwood, mounted with the Australian coat of arms and the rising sun, with a plate glass front covering the lettering, which is in gold.
Examiner (Launceston), 31st October 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.
