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.

Appin Public School Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll, with names in gold and Australian Flags mounted either side, commemorates former students and citizens of Appin who served in World War One.
This is a replica of the original Honour Roll that was unveiled on the 11th October 1919 which disappeared by the 1990's.
The unveiling of the Appin Public School Honor Roll took place on Saturday afternoon last at the Appin Public School. Rev. Mr. Armitage, Rector of St. Peters Church Campbelltown, unveiled the Roll in the presence of a very large and representative gathering. Mr. Armitage in addressing the gathering spoke in high terms of the boys from Appin and district who had made their sacrifice to fight for their country-; he related numerous stories concerning the Diggers and their jocular ways, and proved that not only being army soldiers, were Christian soldiers. The Honor Roll contained some twenty names, and the citizen 's list eight names, — these figures are wonderful for such a small community.
