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.

Ora Banda Honour RollPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One. The original honour roll was destroyed in a fire in 1950, however a replica is now displayed at the Ora Banda Historical Inn.
The original Ora Banda Honour Roll was unveiled on the 17th October 1920 by Mrs Wilson whose five sons had gone to fight, one of whom paid the supreme sacrifice. The honour board was a beautiful piece of work of polished jarrah with 100 names on brass plates. The work was carried out by Millars' Jarrah Company. After the unveiling schoolchildren sang "Bells of Peace" and in the evening there was a special service at the Miners Hall to commemorate the unveiling of the roll.
