On 18 November 1921 a large and well-attended ceremony was held in the small town of Avoca in central Victoria to dedicate a memorial which had been erected in the main street to the soldiers of Avoca and district who had served in the Great War.
The memorial, initially conceived as a band rotunda, was an irregular octagon with eight piers carrying a roof obscured by a parapet. A frieze above the columns gives the names of the main areas where volunteers from Avoca fought: Gallipoli, France, Palestine, and Belgium. Low walls on four sides have a soldier’s helmet and pack sculptured in high relief. The entrances on the other sides are guarded by freestanding granite tablets inscribed with names of some of the soldiers from the district who fought in the First World War. The tablet on the northern side of the memorial records the names of some of those who died.
The Avoca memorial was intended to commemorate only those soldiers from the South Riding and from Percydale, but by early 1921 the town of Homebush was declining rapidly, and had lost so many of its residents that the Homebush Memorial Fund asked to join the Avoca fund. As a result, in addition to those from the South Riding and Percydale, the names of soldiers from Homebush were also intended to be included.
In theory perhaps, it should have been a straightforward matter to list the all the names of soldiers from these three places on the Memorial. In practice it was not so simple, and to this day, the names of many men who should be recorded there are missing from the Avoca memorial's granite tablets.
Although a memorial to the town's soldiers had been discussed for many years, the lists of names for the memorial appear to have been prepared in a hurry and were shockingly incomplete. In a letter to the "Avoca Mail" published on 19 November 1918, Councillor Arthur Paten, Honorary Secretary of the Memorial Committee, requested parents, relatives, or friends of soldiers from the South Riding of the Shire of Avoca and from the Percydale portion of the North Riding who had been on active service to forward him their name, rank, decoration, and whether killed. A list would be prepared and 'it was desired that the list be a complete one'. On 23 July 1921 a small sub-committee met to discuss names to be included on the memorial. A list of soldiers from Natte Yallock had been supplied by G. Cain, a farmer. Robert Robinson, who had served with the AIF, supplied a list of soldiers from Percydale. Names for Avoca and Homebush were compiled by Canon Reynolds, Vicar of the Church of England, Avoca, who was secretary of the local Progress Association, and Mr William Helliar, a farmer from Natte Yallock.
Perhaps a complete list could have been prepared from this information, but the attempt to produce it was compromised by bad planning, bureaucratic incompetence, and petty in-fighting between various
committees and local groups. The result was that only half the names that should be on the memorial are actually inscribed there.
This disgraceful treatment of Avoca and district soldiers has never been put right. The Avoca branch of the Returned and Services League, which boasts that "We foster respect and thanks from the nation for all those who have made sacrifices in Australia’s name...", has long known that the memorial is incomplete.
In less than a hundred years, 'Lest we forget' has become 'We have forgotten'.
Below is a list of 312 men associated with the Avoca district who served in the Great War. Only 137 of them are listed on the Avoca Soldiers’ Memorial.
