Memorial Description:

Roll of Honour. 24 inches high x 24 inches wide (608mm x 608mm).

It is a pre-printed board.

The words “For King and Country” is in red across the top, below which is the Union flag.

The words “Roll of Honour” are underneath this, and the exhortation to pray for those serving. There is a circle on each side, each encompassing two flags.

The Roll is divided into three columns, the first containing the name, the second the regiment and the third containing comments.

The lettering is hand written by the same hand, some in pencil, which may indicate that it was a temporary, or work in progress item.

Names:

35 names and regiments, with notes on whether killed or wounded.
See transcript.

Notes:

a. The Memorial shows J. Mason as missing, which seems to indicate that the names were written as the war progressed.
