Description
Wooden roll of honour in three panels. The central panel has a pointed pediment, and the left and right-hand panels are rectangular. The dedication and the names of those who died, under the headings 'KILLED IN ACTION' and 'DIED IN HOSPITAL', are set out on the central panel. The names of those who served and survived are set out on the left and right-hand panels. The three panels were originally held together within a wooden frame, however the frame was presumably lost when the memorial's original home, the Lewisham Vestry Hall (which later became part of Lewisham Town Hall), was demolished in 1968. Currently the three panels are kept in storage, together but not physically attached to each other.
