Description / Background

Lismore Memorial Baths were erected in honour of those who fell in the First World War. The foundation stone was laid on 1 October 1927.

Inside the main entrance to the baths are two marble wall mounted honour rolls listing the names of the fallen from Lismore and district. Collection of the names began around 1928. 

Notes on veterans' names:

  • No records could be found for deceased veterans from this area with the following names: E I Baker, D S Conway, T W Hollingsworth, P J Kelly, T J Lee, A McAllister, P B Mailey, A R Pavey, F X Walsh, E Wyatt. Their status codes have been given as killed in action (KIA), as that is what is indicated by the memorial.
  • A McAllister may be Adam McAllister who died of wounds (DOW).
  • P B Mailey may be Percy Benjamin Mailey of Petersham who DOW.
  • A R Pavey may be Arthur Richard Pavey who was KIA.
  • F X Walsh may be Francis Xavier Walsh who DOW.
  • The cause of death for H E Grant could not be ascertained. He died in the service of the British forces, therefore his status code is also given as KIA.
  • All other status codes are taken from information contained in the Australian War Memorial Roll of Honour, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database, and the National Archives of Australia.
  • On the memorial, E R Snowdon is given as E R Snowden. Snowdon is the name given on the National Archives scanned documents for this veteran, including those he filled out himself, and N L B Somerville is given as N L B Sommerville.
