Accessing the Honour Roll
Here is the list of names as inscribed on the St Jude’s Honour Roll. Each individual has been carefully researched by volunteers using the World War I Service Records held by the National Archives of Australia (NAA); information compiled by the AIF Project, UNSW Canberra; records held by the State Registries of Births, Deaths and Marriages; contemporary newspaper accounts sourced through Trove, National Library of Australia (NLA), as well as various street directories and electoral rolls.
Click on a name to discover more about that individual and their World War I service.
In several cases, the names on the Roll differ in their initials or spelling to the official Service Records. However research of the records shows that this is indeed the person recorded on the Honour Roll. There are also some names where we have not been able to identify the person and find their service record.

St Jude’s World War One Honour Roll: Background
The conflict that became known as the First World War began in Europe in 1914. St Jude’s parishioners, like those in other Church of England parishes, were generally caught up in support for the war effort.
By early 1917, many local men had enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces and already 33 soldiers associated with the parish had been killed. The parish planned an Honour Roll within the church building to commemorate their service. In April 1918 attendees at the Annual General Meeting agreed that only volunteers who were connected with the church or who had been baptized at St Jude’s, and who had embarked for overseas service, could be included on the Roll. This allowed the vicar and his advisors to limit the listing to people who had a clear connection to the congregation.
When at last the war ended, St Jude’s commissioned Melbourne furniture makers F. K. Cox & Company to construct the Honour Roll. The simply-designed board is made of varnished hardwood, and the volunteers’ names are written in gold paint. The motto of the Protestant Federation, proclaiming that the war was fought ‘For God, King and Empire’, heads the roll, along with the legend ‘Their Names Shall Be Held in Everlasting Remembrance’. There are five columns of names in all, listing the names of 184 people: 181 members of the AIF and three nurses. The central column, headed ‘Faithful Unto Death’, lists the names of 39 men who died on active service.
The St Jude’s Honour Roll reflects the pride of the congregation in its contribution to the War, their sense that the war was a noble cause, and their grief at so much suffering.
On February 22 1920, ‘a very large congregation’ watched as the Honour Roll was unveiled by General Charles Brand and dedicated by Canon Henry Thomas Langley, formerly a Chaplain in the Australian Military Forces. The Honour Roll was initially mounted on the south wall of the church. Many years later it was re-hung upstairs in the gallery.
The Honour Roll was damaged in the fire in the church in 2014. It was restored in 2023 by The University of Melbourne’s Grimwade Centre with a grant from the Victorian Government’s Program ‘Restoring Community War Memorials and Avenues of Honour’.
