Honour Roll of Tarlee & District Print Page 
The honour roll commemorates those from Tarlee and District who served in World War Two.
It was a great event for the little hamlet of Tarlee, always busy with to-and-fro traffic; on Saturday when district residents congregated in numbers to see Mr. Quirke, MP, open the new supper room attached to the institute, and the Minister for Defence (Sir Philip McBride) unveil a World War II honor roll. Mr. Melrose, MLC, came across from Kadlunga, Mintaro.
They were introduced by Mr. A. L. Molineux, chairman of the war memorial committee since its formation in 1946, and Councillor (now chairman) of Riverton District Council for 29 years and opposed only once. Mr Molineux explained that £1,000 had been raised promptly toward the extension. District people subscribed £300 for a bio-box for cinema shows. The CWA (Mrs. Clayton Dunn is president now) raised £437 toward the hall.
Chronicle, (Adelaide), 20 May 1954.
