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.

Harefield District Roll of HonourPrint Page 
02-July-2015
Photographs supplied by Sandra Brown
The honour roll commemorates those who served in World War Two.
In the grounds of the Harefield Hall, gaily decorated with bunting and flying the Union Jack and Australian flags, the people of the district gathered a few days ago to welcome home service personnel. There were many visitors from Wagga, Junee, Illabo and other districts, who were glad of the opportunity to add a word of greeting and to talk with the boys as well as renew old acquaintances, while a number spent a pleasant afternoon on the tennis courts.
During afternoon tea, proceedings were in the hands of Mr. A. H. Goldsworthy, as chairman. After the Loyal toast had been proposed by Mr. C. C. Moss, Mr. W. O. McPherson asked all to stand for one minute's silence in honor of fallen comrades. Mr. Goldsworthy then asked Mrs. C. A. Lamont to make the presentations. These were in the form of an address of welcome containing each individual's name and rank; also a replica of the honor roll placed in a souvenir wallet.
In an impressive ceremony the Honor Roll and crossed flags were unveiled by Mr. W. R. McNickle, the Honor Roll being a replica in design of the existing 1914-18 roll.
