Casino Circuit Great War Honor Roll

The Casino Circuit Great War Honor Roll is a polished timber board, with carved columns on either side. It was unveiled in the Casino Methodist Church in 1920, but the inscription refers to the Casino Circuit, which demonstrates that the service people listed on the roll came from the wider Casino district. The memorial was manufactured by Brown and Jolly of Lismore.

The Richmond River Express, 26 March 1920 reported, "On Sunday evening the Church honor roll will be unveiled. The church all along has had a temporary roll but this has been replaced by a permanent record of those members of the congregation that enlisted and took part in the great struggle." The Casino and Kyogle Courier, 31 March 1920 described in detail the unveiling ceremony held on 28 March. Reverend R.H. Doust was the preacher and Mr S. Pratt, who lost two sons in the conflict, unveiled the board. The account listed the 32 names of those who enlisted. A further description of the ceremony was published in the Northern Star (Lismore), 1 April 1920.

The temporary roll was described in the Express four years earlier on 24 March 1916. It was reported that on 27 March an honour roll of recruits from Casino was to be unveiled at the Methodist Church. At the time, the board listed 16 names of enlistees. It was unveiled by Mrs G.K. Imeson. 

The 1920 permanent Honor Roll is now located in the Casino Historical Museum.
