William’s name has been inscribed on the Cooks Hill Superior Public School Roll of Honour, Merewether (Glebe) Methodist Church Roll of Honour, Merewether (Mitchell Park) Memorial Gates and the Stallard Roll of Honour (photo, unveiled date unknown). Name not inscribed on the NSW Govt Railways and Tramways Roll of Honour, 1914-1919.
There is no headstone for Mr Stallard to tell us he served King and Country, and probably died an early death because of it, so I have placed a cross adorned with poppies on the gravesite, taken a photo of the grave and uploaded the photo onto the Northern Cemetery website as a permanent record of his service.
