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.

Branxholme School Honour Roll Print Page 
The honour roll commemorates former students of the school who served in World War One.
A bazaar was held in the local State school grounds on Saturday afternoon, and was a great success. The various Stalls, which were conducted by the scholars, comprised soft drinks, lollies, vegetables, and fancy goods, while afternoon tea was dispensed, and a fish pond also well patronised. During the afternoon an honour roll erected to soldiers who have passed through the local State school was unveiled by Mrs. M'Pherson, the mother of four soldiers, two of whom have returned wounded, while the other two are still on active service. There was a large attendance, and speeches were made by the Revs. Williams of Condah and Houston of Branxholme, the Hon. S. Winter Cooke and others.
Hamilton Spectator (Vic), 8 November 1917.
