Description / Background

A polished wooden board dedicated to parishoners who served in the First World War.

Family members of W/O Thomas Harrison attached a Second World War commemorative plaque in his honour to the bottom left of the board. Next to it is another memorial plaque for this war, dedicated on 18 November 1947 to all who served. 

In 2017, the board and plaques were restored and moved from Kurri Kurri Uniting Church to Weston Methodist Church.
