Description / Background

The memorial is a brass honour roll commemorating 46 veterans from Bellata and district who served in the First World War. The memorial measures approximately 2m wide by 1m high and is fixed to a brick wall at the Bellata War Memorial Hall.

An honour board for Bellata was first unveiled at the School of Arts on 25 June 1917 by Mr W E Wearne, assisted by Lieutenant Brennan and Sergeant Schofield. The ceremony was attended by a guard of honour in khaki of men who had enlisted from the district and were shortly going to the front (The North Western Courier (Narrabri), 27 June 1917).

In reporting the unveiling ceremony, the Moree Gwydir Examiner and General Advertiser, 29 June 1917, wrote that the honour board contained thirty seven names of whom not one had been killed, but Private Shanley was missing.

The memorial can be viewed at the Bellata War Memorial Hall.
