In the entrance to the Supreme Court in William Street Melbourne, there is a memorial board commemorating 158 lawyers and solicitors who served in the Great War. In a commemorative project, the stories of those men have been put together in an online memorial. The names are from right round Victoria as well as metropolitan Melbourne. It includes, for instance, Hugh Gordon Morrow of Ballarat and an old school friend Lt Col Harold E Elliott.
Not many Essendonians are included, but one local on the board is William Thomas Snowden.
There are many well-known names on the board, and a browse through them may be rewarding.
