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.

ROSS.
On Sunday afternoon St. John's Church was crowded to its utmost, when Bishop Hay unveiled two brass tablets which had been erected to commemorate the fallen. The first to be shown was one containing names of nine of our horoes who had laid down their lives for King and country. The second was in honour of R. Kermode, father of R. C. Kermode, "Mona Vale," who was one of the pioneers of the district and hugely responsible for the building of St. John's.
Examiner (Launceston, Tas.), 31 October 1919.
Note: This church was on a list of Anglican Church properties for sale in 2018.
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.
