Description
Framed and glazed roll of honour. The dedication is written on a decorative scroll at top, and there are shields set in a decorative border to the sides and below. The names are handwritten, with the initial letter of each forename and surname in red ink. The three names of those who died (Frank Smith, William Baxter and Arthur Diggins) are shown at bottom, under a plain cross and the legend 'Rest in Peace'; two of these (William Baxter and Arthur Diggins) are also included in the list above of those who served, each with a small cross against the name. It is not known why Frank Smith's name is not also included in the list of those who served as well as the list of those who died.
