The Honour Board is dedicated to Lce Cpl Franki and was donated by his parents. His father Mr John Franki was the Managing Director of the Mort Dock & Engineering Company (at that time one of the largest private employers in NSW). Lance Corporal Franki enlisted August 1915. He was an engineer working at his father's company. He served 3 months in Egypt December 1915 to March 1916. He reached France in April 1916. He died two days after being wounded in action at the Somme (hit by shrapnel as making his way to the front trenches). Letters on file show that after recieving a telegram from the AIF to say that his son was wounded, Mr Franki senior obtained confirmation of his son's death via private cable long before he was advised formally by the AIF. Last known address: Montrose', Thames Street
