Description / Background

This timber honour roll is for those from Birriwa and District who served in the Second World War. It is a simply designed rectangular board, with decorative corner pieces and edging. The names are printed alphabetically in gold in two columns on the central panel. The listing of the names in this way indicates that the roll was unveiled after the end of the war. It is possible the roll was unveiled in the Birriwa Hall, however the details of the ceremony are not known.  

The honour roll is now located in the Dunedoo Museum and is available for viewing when the museum is open to the public.

Birriwa is a rural community located on the Castlereagh Highway between Gulgong and Dunedoo. There was a Birriway Hall by 1915 and a new hall was constructed and opened in March 1939.
