Buckendoon Public School First World War Honor Roll Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The memorial is a simply designed timber honor roll. It is dedicated to ex-pupils of the former Buckendoon Public School who served in the Fiirst World War. It features stylised lettering and the emblem of the Australian Imperial Force, painted in gold, at the top of the board. The movement to create the roll was coordinated by Mr Chisholm, a teacher at the school. It was made/designed by Mr W.J. Murray of South Woodburn. The roll was due to be unveiled on Empire Day, 24 May 1917; however, was not ready in time and the ceremony was postponed. The unveiling took place at the school the following month on Saturday, 16 June 1917. Mr W. Gollan, chairman of the committee, led proceedings and Mrs Gollan Snr. performed the unveiling. She was the chairman's mother and also raised one of the men listed on the roll who fell in the war (Northern Star, 20 June 1917). The Buckendoon Public School was open from January 1882 to December 1954. When the school closed, the memorial was moved to the Woodburn Shire Chambers building. In time, the chambers became the home of the Mid-Richmond Historical Society Museum, also known as the Coraki Museum. Access to the memorial is restricted to the opening hours of the museum. In 2012, the board was restored by the society with funds from a Foundation of Rural and Regional Renewal Grant (Northern Star, 1 April 2015).
