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.

Strathalbyn District Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those from Strathalbyn District who served in World War One.
A largely attended meeting of the general committee and others inter ested in the forthcoming Strathalbyn Day was held in the Institute on Friday evening, Feb. 28, the Mayor (Mr.J. W. Elliott), presiding, supported by the chairman of the district council (Mr. C H. Dunn), the gathering including a number of outside people as well as those resident in the town.
The subject of a roll of honour for the town and district of Strathalbyn was introduced by Mr. Jackson, when it was explained that to the generosity of two of their townspeople that was being provided for in very handsome way. The ex-mayor, Mr. Jas. Bell, then said that though he had no intended to make any announcement until the roll of honour was ready he felt that it would be opportune for him to confirm the statement by telling them that he and Mrs. Bell had arranged to give the town such a memorial of the lads who had enlisted, and when it came to hand he felt sure it would meet with approval.
The design been agreed to long ago, and the work was in the hands of Pengilley and Co., and when it came to hand the Institute Committee had agreed to give it prominent place in the Hall. This announcement was received with hearty applause.
