Description / Background

The memorial is a black material honour roll set behind glass in a large timber frame with supporting shelves at the top and bottom. The honour roll contains an alphabetical list of the names of 17 staff from the store who served in the Second World War.  

Many large stores throughout Australia created honour rolls containing the names of those who were store employees prior to their enlistment. The honour roll would have been unveiled in the hardware store. The memorial is now located in the Schaeffer House Museum in Grafton.
