St Andrews, Corowa - The Names Identified

Story

There are 40 names listed on this Roll of Honour. At the unveiling in 1916 there were 19 names, with one more that should have been included according to the newspaper report of the event. The remainder seem to have been added as the church community became aware of the enlistment of one of their congregation.

It appears that some attempt had been made at the time to list the names in order of enlistment. This was not entirely successful and the later names are even less so. It should also be noted that these names refer only to those associated with the Presbyterian Church. There were many others from this district who served.

Of the 40 names listed, 10 were killed, died of wounds or died of some other cause. Of those 10, 7 had enlisted within the first 12 months of the war.

The details contained in the spreadsheet provided below have been compiled with the assistance of the Australian War Memorial, the National Archives of Australia and the National Library's "Trove".
