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.

Castlemaine Honour Roll Print Page 

The honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One.
Kyneton Guardian (Vic), 15 August 1916.
The honor board presented to the borough by Cr. Corbel and placed in the entrance to the Town Hall, has now been completed, the work of inscribing the names having just been concluded by Mr J. A. lredale. It would be advisable for all interested to inspect the board, as it may be that wrong initials have been used in some cases, and in others the name may be wrongly spelt, while it is possible some names have been omitted altogether. All interested should inspect the board without delay, and if any error has occurred it should be reported to the committee, which consists of the Mayor (Cr. Cornish), Crs. Freeman and Corbel.
Mount Alexander Mail (Vic), 2 September 1916.
