Description / Background

This roll of honor is a shield-shaped plaque, mounted on a timber board. The plaque is made of white marble and lists 49 members of the Parkes Methodist Church who served in the First World War. Their names are inscribed across two columns and highlighted in gold. Attached below the shield is a small plaque dedicated to two other members of the church community. 

The roll was unveiled on 12 August 1917. It replaced the original version unveiled on 16 April 1916. It remains on site and is located on the left-hand side of the nave. Also inside the church is the Parkes Methodist Church Second World War Book of Remembrance.
