Description / Background

By Mr Denis J. Chamberlain: 

Moves were first made for the honor roll in 1916, the cost and work being donated by Mr & Mrs A. E. Cook. It consists of two wooden, painted scroll designed tablets, with the names rendered in gold leaf. The names were sign written by Mr Albert J. Pickup of Bathurst. Those who paid the supreme sacrifice are marked with a small cross. The two tablets are surmounted by a varnished wooden canopy with the words 'For King (Australian Imperial Force Badge) For Country'. The two tablets are each 1900mm high and 406mm wide. The honor roll was designed to hold 52 names on each tablet.

It is unclear when the honor roll was first unveiled* or who performed the event, however it was re-unveiled with an additional 24 names bringing the total to 52 names. This ceremony was performed by Mrs H. Weir, mother of the last fallen soldier, on 16* May 1917. Some years later on Anzac Day 1921, the now completed honor roll was unveiled by Mr James Marshall. This ceremony happened to coincide with the unveiling of the war memorial at the junction of Beyers Avenue and Clarke Streets, Hill End. The honor roll is located in the reception area of the Hill End Public School, Tambaroora Street, Hill End.

* Note: The roll was first unveiled on 25 April 1916 and was re-unveiled on 24 May 1917. Please refer to the related links below.
