Description / Background

Two honour roll plaques, dedicated to members of the parish who served in the First World War, are attached to the pillars of the lychgate at the entrance to the Prince of Peace Anglican Church at Raleigh. The gate is constructed of white stone with a red metal roof, four pillars, and a white crucifix mounted at the top. The gate was established in 1922. 

The Coffs Harbour Advocate, 10 May 1929, reported that the church, which had been dedicated on 10 December 1921, was consecrated on Sunday 5 May 1929 by Dr Ashton, Bishop of Grafton. 

In November 1948 a memorial dedicated to the memory of Sergeant J S Hosier, DFM, in the form of a carved Bishop's chair was gifted to the church by the congregation (Daily Examiner, 11 Nov 1948). John Stanley Hosier was born at Raleigh on 30 May 1920, and was a regular attendant at worship. He joined the RAAF on 7 November 1941 and as a Flight Sergeant and a member of the 460th Squadron, was killed on 10 April 1944.

The Daily Examiner, 27 March 1950 reported that a Credon Table was dedicated in the church by the Reverend P F Tilghman in the presence of a large congregation. The unveiling ceremony was performed by Mrs Reg Habgood, aunt of the late Douglas Hosier who gave his life while on active service in the Second World War.
