Bective Patriotic Association Second World War Honour Roll Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The memorial is a large timber honour roll for the Second World War. It has a classical pediment at the top and three carved columns, which frame the two panels on which the names are painted in alphabetical order. The workmanship demonstrates the skills of a cabinet maker. It is unknown where the roll was originally unveiled, displayed, or stored. It is now located in the Somerton War Memorial Hall. Access to the memorial is restricted to the opening hours of the hall. Bective Station The Returned Soldiers Settlement Act,1916 allowed the settlement of returned soldiers on Crown Land. Bective, located on the 'Bective Station' west of Tamworth in NSW, became a Soldier Settlement after the First World War. The Daily Observer (5 October 1918) reported "applications [could] now be received from returned soldiers for blocks on the Bective Estate subdivision." By February 1919, 51 applicants had been selected to join the settlement and 40 had taken ownership of their farms (Daily Observer, 20 February 1919). In line with support developed by many communities for the Australian Forces, a Bective Patriotic Association was formed. Information about Soldier Settlement is available on the NSW State Archives and Records website and the Australian War Memorial website.
