Honour Roll WW1 - Glenelg, SA, Australia - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

The central two painted columns of names is for those soldiers who fell in The Great War, 1914 - 1919, with a further x8 columns of x60+ names! The Queensland maple panels were made by Pengelly & Co, with names painted on by Rex Hart. From the Monuments Australia website is an excerpt from The Register (Adelaide), from 9 November, 1925:

"A ceremony which placed the coping stone on Glenelg's war memorial effort was performed on Sunday afternoon, when the beautiful honour board in the vestibule of the Glenelg Memorial Town Hall was unveiled by the Mayor (Hon.H. Tassie, M.L.C), in the presence of a large gathering. The Mayor received the relatives of those who made the supreme sacrifice, and a large number of them viewed the roll before its unveiling. Moseley Square was barricaded off from a point opposite the police station, and the ceremony, which was of an impressive character, was a religious one.

"Ald. J. E. Lawton (hon. treasurer of the war memorial committee), in formally handing over the honour roll to the Glenelg Town Council, said the ceremony marked the completion of the effort begun four and a half years ago, when a number of residents met and formed the Glenelg war memorial committee. The objective was £5,000, for the provision of a club room for returned soldiers, the furnishing of it, and an honour board. The board was a splendid sample of the joiners' art, and on it was written some 600 names of men who had done splendid service for the Empire. It was a privilege, on behalf of the War Memorial Committee, to ask the Mayor to accept the honour board on behalf of the council."

The boards contain the 614 names of those who served in World War One and the 119 died in service or were killed in action.
