Description / Background

A fine marble honour roll inscribed with names of those who served in the First World War. There is no end date listed for the War on the roll. It is located within St Stephen's Presbyterian Church, Warialda. It was dedicated on Sunday 21 July 1918 by the Reverend R. Scott West of Burwood, formerly Moderator of the NSW Assembly. The unveiling was effected by Mrs D. Mackay.

Early in July 1918, A. Gittings, the secretary of the Honor Roll Committee, advertised the unveiling of the roll which had been placed in the central church. The Warialda Standard on 22 July 1918 described in detail the dedication ceremony. The monument was described as being constructed with "...white Sicial marble as the base with pediments and columns of Australian colored marble, relieved by bands of Mexican Onyx, the head portion being triangular and made of the same marble...". The article listed the names on the roll incised in gold.

A second roll for the First World War is also located at the church.
