Hello Folks,
There are several World War 1 Honour Boards hanging in the Kensington Town Hall, in the upstairs area which has now been boarded off for safety reasons. I was unable to get a photograph of these boards before access was closed. I have been unable to track down any photos through the Moonee Valley Council, Melbourne City Council, Australian War Memorial, RSL, or by relentless Googling.
Is is possible that anyone may have taken a photo of these boards - even accidentally at a 21st birthday party - that I could use to extract names for my database of Essendon and Flemington volunteers, and/or use to illustrate my
website?
The Moonee Valley Council did have the boards photographed to record their Community Art Collection, but the thumbnails used on the website are too small to read, and they cannot now locate the original photos.

The boards originated with various Friendly Societies, and two commemorating the Great War are from the PAFS (Protestant Alliance Friendly Society) and ANA (Australian Natives Association).
Another source of the same information might be a pamphlet printed for the unveiling of the boards, should anyone have one in a bottom drawer.
I would be very grateful if someone could come up with some photos or the information contained on the boards.
