Description
Wall mounted framed and glazed illuminated roll of honour. Names are in handwritten script in black ink with red for initials. Names are listed in three columns. Beneath, in two columns, are the names of those who were promoted. The names are inside the shape of a shield. Behind this are illustrations of two crossed Union flags, partially visible behind the shield. The words 'Roll of Honour' are decorative in red, blue and gold ink. The words above this are written as if in scrolls and are surrounded by tendrils.
