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.

Amherst Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One.
On the evening of the 28th September at the Town Hall, Amherst, a social was held, at which there was a very large attendance, the chief attraction being the unveiling of a roll of honor subscribed for by the residents. The roll, which contains the names of some 30 Amherst and district young men who had enlisted, is a very handsome one.
Cr Walter E. Gane presided, and the unveiling ceremony was performed the Hon. A R. Outtrim, who commended the residents for having procured the roll, and highly eulogised the Australian soldiers. Rev. A. Coates also addressed the meeting, and songs were rendered by Mrs Philippi, Miss Martin, and Mr Saw, a duet by Mrs Buchan and Miss Martin, and recitations by Misses Davis Philippi. On the proposition of Mr G. Fisher, thanks were accorded the speakers, performers, and Miss Martin for presiding at the piano. At the conclusion refreshments were handed round.
Talbot Leader (Vic), 6 October 1917.
