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.

Shire of Wyangarie Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those from the Shire of Wyangarie who served in World War One.
The Honour Roll was unveiled under the auspices of the Wyangerie Shire Council on ANZAC Day 1920 by Lieutenant Ted Sloan. Lieutenant Sloan had previously made a rousing speech in regard to the treatment of returned men by the Shire Council and other "flag-flappers". He stated that he was in Villers-Bretonneux and to find the shops open on Anzac Day in Richmond was a disgrace.
He considered it his duty to close them and went round and informed the shopkeepers if they did not close he would organise a company of "diggers" for that purpose. The shops were then shut.
The Capricornian (Rockhampton), 8th May 1920.
