Fernleigh Public School First World War Roll of Honour Middle Image Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The Fernleigh Public School First World War Roll of Honour is a decorative timber board, with a finial-like post on each corner and a shallow ledge at the top and bottom. There are also two paintings on the roll, one of the First Commonwealth Coat of Arms and the other of the crossed Union Jack and Australian flags, flanked by wattle. The history of the roll is unknown. However, as the names are not in alphabetical order, it is possible it was constructed during the war and names added as ex-pupils enlisted. Fates are also included next to some of the veterans, with three marked as killed in action. A report in the Northern Star on 6 July 1918 indicated there was a relationship between the school's Parents and Citizens' Association and the Fernleigh Patriotic Committee. The committee held their first annual meeting on 17 June 1918, following the P. and C. meeting. It is possible the two organisations coordinated the project. Do you know more about this war memorial?
