Drake M.U.I.O.O.F. No 149 First World War Honour Roll Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The memorial is a rectangular pressed brass honour roll, dedicated to the members of the Loyal Happy Home Lodge No 146, Drake, who served in the First World War. The honour roll was manufactured by the Wunderlich Company in Sydney. It is framed with a decorative border on three sides, with a small plaque situated in the centre of the top frame inscribed with the details of the Lodge. In the main central panel the rising sun sits above a decorative wreath, which contains the commemoration in raised lettering. The bottom of the memorial features a scrolled banner with M.U I.O.O.F. (Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows) written in raised lettering across its length. The society's emblem sits in the centre of the banner. The names of 14 veterans are incised in black lettering on individual metal plaques and are attached to the honour roll in two columns, one on each side of the memorial. A small cross before three veteran names indicates they were killed in action. A large crowd attended the unveiling ceremony on Saturday 5 March 1921. The District Grand Master J H Young, accompanied by Past Grand Brother W S Whyte and Brother R Lightfoot, visited Drake to unveil the roll at the Lodge. Grand Master Young performed the honours, pulling aside the Union Jack to reveal the memorial (Glen Innes Examiner, 14 March 1921). The memorial is now located in the Drake Community Hall within the military museum, and is available for viewing when the hall is open to the public. The Loyal Happy Home Lodge M.U.I.O.O.F. was founded in the small community of Drake in 1887.
