Bora Ridge First and Second World Wars Roll of Honor Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The memorial is a simple, polished timber roll of honor. It has an overall rectangular shape and features colourful illustrations at the top of the board. These include the crossed Union Jack and Australian Red Ensign and a blue ribbon, which forms the background for the words 'Roll of Honor'. The names are printed in gold across five columns, two for the First World War and three for the Second World War. Those who made the supreme sacrifice are marked with a cross. Planning for the memorial began in 1946. The Northern Star, 16 August 1946, reported "public organisations" had decided to place an honour roll in the Bora Ridge Primary Producers Hall. A committee had been formed and an appeal was made for names from the First World War, as details of those who had served in the Second World War had already been received. A public meeting was held later that year on 9 December to discuss the progress of the project. The memorial was unveiled at the hall on Friday, 27 June 1947. The Northern Star, 3 July 1947, described the ceremony in detail. The President of Woodburn Shire, Councillor L.R. Williams, presided at the function and Mrs Pursey, the only mother in the district to lose a son in the Second World War, performed the unveiling. At a later date, the hall was closed. The memorial has since been moved to the Mid-Richmond Historical Society Museum, also known as the Coraki Museum. The society received a Federal Government Anzac Memorial Local Grant to refurbish the roll (Northern Star, 1 April 2015). Access to the memorial is restricted to the opening hours of the museum.
