Description / Background

This war memorial is a polished timber honour roll, with a classical pediment at the top and carved columns on either side. Below the pediment is a supporting shelf with a similar shelf positioned at the bottom of the board. The central panel features the names of those who served, neatly printed in gold. Elegant gold line and scrollwork add a decorative element to the piece. 

While the date of the memorial is unknown, planning was underway by mid-1919, as reference to a meeting of the school's Parents and Citizens' Association was published in the Australian Town and Country Journal on 18 June. At the meeting it was decided to obtain an honour roll, to be funded through public subscription.
