| History: | This honour board commemorates
the men from Walkerston and the Palms district who served in the Great
War. The Palms was the location of a large sugar mill and estate a couple
of miles north-east of Walkerston. The mill was badly damaged in the 1918
Cyclone and later amalgamated with the Pleystowe Sugar Mill.
The honour Board was originally located in the old Walkerston Railway Station until it was removed by the local RSL sub-branch to be restored. The Walkerston Railway Station was removed and relocated to the grounds of Greenmount Homestead in 1985. After restoration the Honour Board was relocated once again to the Tommy Webster Memorial Hall in 2000. It was held by the RSL sub-branch once again before being displayed near the front entrance of the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel in Walkerston. |
