Description / Background

The Glebe Town Hall honour roll is a cedar panel with a central brass plaque surmounted with an impressed copper armorial of the British Royal Coat of Arms flanked by a pair of arch crested copper pillars, each titled: Roll of Honour. Each pillar is impressed with the dates '1914' and '1919'. Below the dates are impressed panels containing crossed swords over laurel wreaths and a field artillery piece, supported on a bracket impressed with a NSW crest piece, supported on a cartouche and acanthus scrolls.

The metal plaques contain the engraved names of local residents who volunteered (surname and first name initial in alphabetical order) for the conflict. There are two applied oval commemorative plaques engraved: 'In Honour of those who heard and answered the call of King Country' and 'Erected by the Council, Ratepayers and Residents of Glebe'. The memorial is 150cm high and 244cm wide.
