Maclean Methodist Church Great War Honour Roll Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background This war memorial is a rectangular marble tablet. The main tablet is made of white marble and it is attached to a red marble backing tablet. It bears the names of five men who were members of the Maclean Methodist Church who died in the First World War. Their ranks, dates of birth, dates of death, and the locations of their deaths are also included. The memorial was made by Messrs Matheson and Collins of Grafton. It was commissioned by the parents and relatives of the fallen soldiers. The unveiling ceremony was originally planned for 30 September 1917, however, it was delayed until 14 October (Daily Examiner, 20 September 1917). A detailed report of the event was published in the Daily Examiner the next day. A guard of honour was formed at the entrance to the church, by members of the local cadet corps, under the direction of Lieutenant Tabor. Reverend Curwood, chairman of the Methodist North Coast district, gave a sermon and then unveiled the tablet. He was assisted in conducting the service by Reverend C E Godbehear. The 'Last Post' was sounded by bugler T Schwonber. The Maclean Methodist Church was constructed in 1890 and extended in 1908. It is now known as Maclean Uniting Church. Also on site is the Maclean Methodist Church First World War Roll of Honor.
