This First World War honour roll is a large, polished, dark granite plaque. Inset into the granite surrounds, is a lighter coloured, polished marble tablet. Names of the Postmaster General's Department (P.M.G.) officers from NSW who were killed or died while on service with the Australian Imperial Force are inscribed into the marble. The names are also decorated with gold leaf.
The second honour roll is a facsimile book in which the names of all P.M.G. staff who died in both the First and Second World Wars were written. The book is set behind glass, in a wooden cabinet with a bronze inscription above it and a bronze laurel wreath below.
The memorials are located in Sydney's former General Post Office.
