Roll of Honour 75 cm high x 61.5 cm wide of popular pre-printed design in narrow gilded frame. There is a wide border of laurel leaves, with a rose on the top left corner, a thistle in top right, a daffodil in lower right and a shamrock in lower left. The words “Roll of Honour” are on a ribbon at the top, in black lettering with green capitals and green shadowing. Below this are the words “For King and Country” on a ribbon in green lettering, with the union flag and wreath behind.
The names and regiments are handwritten in four columns, two columns holding names and the other two containing the regiments. Three names are outlined, presumably these were killed.
