Description
Small bronze Roll of Honour, set in a wooden frame. The Roll is decorated at the top with a crest which says in raised letters ‘ROLL OF HONOUR’ behind which are two flagpoles which cross unseen, then appear festooned with flowers and leafs either side of the crest. Names of those from East Heslerton who fought are then listed in two columns, arranged in descending alphabetical order by surname. Below the names the decoration continues with overlapping, three dimensional lanceolate leafs.
