Description / Background

The memorial is a polished timber honour roll commemorating the residents from the district who served in the Second World War. The board features a decorative pediment with gold shadow lettering, below which is a crossed Union Jack and Australian Red Ensign with a laurel wreath, all painted in full colour with the dedication in gold. Carved timber columns frame each side of the board, with timber shelves at the top and bottom. The names of those who served are printed in gold lettering across three columns in the main body of the board. 

The Daily Examiner (Grafton) 1 October 1953, invited members of the community to attend the unveiling and dedication of the honour roll at a Festival of Remembrance organised by the Brushgrove-Cowper Memorial Hall Committee. The festival was held on 2 October at the hall and was attended by a large audience. The evening commenced with a concert, after which the roll was unveiled and dedicated by The Reverend M E de Burgh Griffith. The evening concluded with music and dancing (Daily Examiner (Grafton), 12 October 1953).

The memorial board is mounted on a wall inside the hall, which is now known as the Brushgrove-Tyndale Hall.
