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.

Onaunga District Council Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those from the Onaunga Council District who served in World War One.
Ever since the outbreak of war the local branches of the various patriotic funds have worked zealously in numerous ways to raise funds and to provide comforts for the boys at the front. With the same worthy object in view, the local Red Cross branch arranged a strawberry fete and concert, which was held on Saturday last. A movement was initiated some little time ago also, to present a roll of honor to the Onaunga district Council by the residents of this district, bearing the names of all those brave lads who have enlisted from this neighborhood to fight for King and country.
Mr. J. M. Hudd, the energetic sec. of the above branch, canvassed the district for subscriptions and his efforts met with most enthusiastic support which resulted in the purchase of a beautiful bronze tablet. Saturday was deemed as a most fitting day to unveil the tablet, and arrangements were made for Lady Butler to perform the ceremony, and a large gathering assembled to witness the function which was held at the Council Hall. Mr. Ben. Wundersitz presided, and owing to the unavoidable absence of Lady Butler, asked Mrs. Laffer to declare the fete open. Mr. S. Beavis, on behalf of the residents then asked the Hon. A. H. Peake to unveil and present the roll of honor to the Onaunga Council.
The Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser (SA), 24 November 1916.
