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.

St John`s Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates those from the congregation who served in World War One. The honour roll was restored in 2015 to commemorate the 1915 Gallipoli Landing.
BALMAIN. St. John's Church, Balmain North, was crowded to the doors on Saturday afternoon on the occasion of the unveiling by the Archbishop of Sydney of an honor roll which contains the names of 253 of the congregation who had enlisted for active service. Fifty of the number have been killed. Archbishop Wright referred to the valor of the men who had gone forth in the cause of liberty and democracy, and made mention of the possible dangers to be avoided after the peace celebrations. The roctor, Rev. G. F. B. Manning, stated that it was proposed to add additional names to the board, and that the screen would then be long enough to encircle the whole of the sanctuary and choir. The "Last Post" was sounded, and the "Dead March" in "Saul" was played by the Gallipoli Band. The choir sang the "Hallelujah Chorus." and the Benediction was pronounced by the Archbishop.
