Description / Background

The Bingara First World War Roll of Honor is a printed and illustrated parchment, presented in a simple timber frame behind glass. It lists men and women who served in the war from the district. Their names are printed across four columns in the centre of the page. The top of the document is decorated with illustrations including the crossed Union Jack and Australian flags, a crown, the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces emblem, and a descending dove holding a sprig in its mouth. At the bottom is the Commonwealth Coat of Arms.

On either side of the names are drawings of two classical columns, wrapped in ribbon banners that list the names of various battles in which Australians served during the Great War. At the base of each column is a female figure holding a wreath, sitting on a pedestal. The left pedestal has the words 'Victory' and '1914' and the right reads 'Freedom' and '1919'.

The roll is a template-style document that was printed by Tipper Printers of Maitland, founded in 1861. This firm produced printed rolls for numerous villages and towns in Northern NSW. 

It is uncertain when the roll was dedicated or where it was located at that time. It is now found inside the Bingara Military Museum.
