Boer War Roll of Honour Closeup
Photographs supplied by Diane Watson
The honour roll commemorates the five local servicemen who died in service or were killed in action in the South African (Boer) War.
Around 16,000 Australians volunteered to fight for Britain against the Dutch-Afrikaner, or Boer, settlers in South Africa from 1899 to 1902. It remains Australia's third-worst conflict in terms of casualties. When the Boer War broke out in 1899, Australia was made up of six colonies that were on the verge of becoming a federation. The war was seen as an opportunity for Australia to show its commitment to Britain and to define its identity.
