Description / Background

The Cundletown District Honor Roll is located at the Soldiers Memorial Hall. It is a large marble honor roll with names inscribed in two columns and coloured black. It contains some 80 names from the Cundletown District, eight of whom made the supreme sacrifice. These names are listed together at the top of the roll, surrounded by a black box.

The Manning River Times, 8 April 1925 reported a roll constructed by Edstein and Son of Taree was completed and was to be handed over in due course. On 17 April 1926 they reported the roll, then erected in the Soldiers Memorial Hall, was to be unveiled on Anzac Day. Mrs Wright who had five sons on service and two killed unveiled the roll, which was installed in the vestible area.
