Historical information

The Municipal Honour Board was housed in the Subiaco Community Centre for a number of years. It was moved to the museum collection in 2024, when the building was scheduled for demolition.

The Subiaco Community Centre was built in 1967 and was home to the Subiaco RSL, until the merger with the Shenton Park RSL relocated the combined RSL to the Shenton Park Community Centre.

The 1015 names listed are similar to the 1031 names listed on 1986.102 ROLL OF HONOUR: SUBIACO RESIDENTS - WORLD WAR ONE. The attached PDF of names provides links to service records.
