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.

Burke Shire Council Honour RollPrint Page 

The honour roll commemorates 46 service personnel who served in World War One.
Burketown. November 1.
The Treasurer, with Messrs. Riordan, MLC, and Mullan and Pollock Ms.L.A, arrived by motor from Normanton, and was welcomed at the Shire Hall. Mr Theodore was presented with an address. He unveiled the honour board for the town showing that 46 men enlisted, and eulogised the soldiers of Australia, especially those of North Queensland, for the manner in which they had answered the call, and for their splendid fighting qualities and chivalry.
The Brisbane Courier (Qld), 2 November 1918.
