Stories from the Kingston Avenue of Honour

The Kingston Avenue of Honour was established in 1918 and is maintained by The Friends of the Avenue of Honour.

The stories from the Avenue of Honour remember those men and women from the district who served during the First World War. 
*denotes Killed in Action.

If you know of any of the soldiers listed below please take a copy of the form and provide as much of their history as possible. A photo of the soldier in uniform would be a great addition to their story.


Discovering ANZAC's website has been decommissioned.
I am sorry to report that the Discovering ANZAC's website, where all 979 names below, are link to their service records, was decommissioned on the 24th February this year. At this time it is unknown how or when we will be able to re link all of the names below.
(Surnames in RED are linked to their War Records via Discovering ANZAC's website. Click on "Surname" to go to their War Records. Currently only WW1 records are available.  ## = Killed in Action)

​First Names in RED have information from the family provided. Click on "First Name" to go to the record.
​

In 2017, Volunteers of the Kingston Avenue of Honour along with Author Peter D. Rickard, put together a book on the men and women recognised by each tree in the Avenue.
The book is called "Sentinels of Service"

Ode of Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
