Wallan Wallan’s World War One Honour Rolls
Our World War One volunteers are recognised by having their names inscribed on the various district Honour Rolls and War Memorials. Many names were not included. Some volunteers may have had their names inscribed on other memorials and honour rolls.
Most men and women who enlisted can be found on the websites of the National Archives of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and various websites created to recognise the Centenary of World War One.
In addition to the Wallan War Memorial, there are four honour rolls. Three are located today in Wallan – at the Hall, Presyterian Church and Wallan Public School. And the other is part of the Shire of Broadmeadows Roll of Honour board, which was published in the Kilmore Free Press on 24 July 1919, page 3. These rolls are listed below together with basic information extracted from the National Archives of Australia website relating to the service documents of those who volunteered to serve overseas during World War One.
Please appreciate that some names on the lists could not be identified. At the end of this page there is a list of other local Wallan Wallan volunteers whose names do not appear in the below lists and not on the War Memorial. They were found in the records of the National Archives of Australia.`
If any reader considers someone should be included in these lists or can provide information please use the comment form below. Our apologises for any errors and omissions.
World War One – Honour Rolls – Wallan Wallan

Kilmore Free Press
Thursday, 4 December, 1919
“The good folks of Wallan generally do things in the best style, and the function of unveiling the roll of honor there on Friday afternoon was no exception to the rule. Everything passed of there most harmoniously, and inasmuch as all concerned in carrying out the arrangements did their work so very well, it would be invidious to particularise. The speeches were appropriate to the occasion, and the abundance of refreshments, gracefully handed round by the ladies, materially added to the success of a function at which the school pupils proved interested participants. The event should certainly remain an important one in their memory.”

“Honor Roll
The Presbyterian Church at Wallan was crowded on Saturday afternoon on the occasion of unveiling the handsome honor roll presented by Mrs A Macleod, of “Macsville”, whose characteristally generous act met with the highest approval.
After brief prayer by the minister of the congregation, Rev W Fitzgerald, and hymns by the choir,
Colonel-Chaplain McRae Stewart, in appropriate manner, performed the ceremony of unveiling the honor board by solemn and touching prayer.

This information is priceless. When can I find out more?
Hi I am not sure what you mean “Where can I find out more.” If you are talking about WWI records, then have a look at the websites National Archives of Australia, Australian War Memorial, Commonwealth War Graves Commission (for those killed during the war) and old newspapers on Trove.
