Description / Background

This war memorial is one of two photographic honour rolls located in the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club. It commemorates 210 members of the club who served in the Second World War. An additional 14 members who fell in the war have their photographs attached to the roll, with their names printed in gold lettering. 

The roll is a simple but elegant timber board. At the top, it features a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon, which is inscribed with the words 'Lest we forget'. The emblem of the club is positioned in the centre of the board, above the dedication. 

The memorial hangs alongside the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club First World War Honor Roll and other memorabilia related to the club.
