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.

Rockhampton Grammar School Honour RollPrint Page 
The marble honour roll commemorates former students who served in World War One.
It was unveiled on the 18th August 1921 by the Governor-General of Australia , Lord Forster, who was paying his first official visit to Rockhampton. The roll erected in the Assembly Hall was designed by Messrs Hocking and Palmer and erected by Mr F. M. Allen.
In separate parties Lord and Lady Forster visited a number of hospitals and schools yesterday. The most important function took place at the Boys' Grammar School, where the Governor General unveiled, in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends a beautiful honour roll, in Ulam white marble, bearing 200 names in six panels. This is undoubtedly one of the largest and finest pieces of monumental work executed in Rockhampton, and was much admired.
The Telegraph (Brisbane), 19 August 1921.
