Memorial Description

Roll of Honour 2 feet 10 inches high x 1 foot 8 inches wide (863mm x 508mm) behind glass in an oak frame of classical design 4 feet 2 inches high x 2 feet 7 inches (1.27m x 787mm) wide. The name of the school, dates and “Roll of Honour” are in gold Roman capitals on the upper border. The names are listed in six columns, written by hand. Some of the names have the letters “S.S.” to the left. Presumably this indicated that these made the Supreme Sacrifice, but the number does not correspond with the list at the bottom of the sixth column. The name of the Headmaster appears on the bottom frame.
