HONOUR BOARDS and ROLLS Background Information Over 1.2 million Australians have served in conflicts and over 102,000 have been killed in service of their country since the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899. Many of the names of these servicemen and women appear on local honour boards located within the communities from which they came. It is estimated that in South Australia there are more than 5000 honour boards, which are located in such places as RSL halls, lodges, churches, hospitals, council buildings, post offices, railway stations and schools throughout the state. Indeed in one small country town, Burra, in the Mid North there are ten honour boards alone in different locations, and in Moonta on the Yorke Peninsula eight honour boards have been located. Honour boards generally contain the names of all those who served in a particular conflict and crosses or other notations such as K.I.A (Killed in Action) to indicate those who died in the service of their country. Honour boards often also include mention of awards for valour won by those whose names appear on it. Each honour board is different and all are an important piece of the history of the community or organisation whose members appear on it.
