Additional information by Sydney Trains:
A fine wooden Roll of Honour board, with 14 Locoworks Tinsmithshop railways employees names who served in the First World War painted to look like two columns in a book, set behind a glass pane. It was richly decorated with a painted rising sun (Australian Imperial Forces insignia) at top, crossed Union Jack and Australian flags, a laurel wreath in a desert landscape above and columns on each side.
It was produced by tinsmith staff, and was relocated after its closure in 1988 and fixed to the eastern Railway Remembrance Wall at Central Station. Note, all the names are also listed on the Eveleigh Locoworks Consolidated Honour Roll WWI.
