Description / Background

The Bundock's Crossing Presbyterian Church First World War Honor Roll is a timber board made of polished silky oak. It lists the names of 15 members of the church who served in the war printed in gold down the centre of the board. The names are in rank order, with an asterisk indicating those who lost their lives.

The roll was made by Messrs Jones and Brewster, long-established furniture manufacturers on the North Coast of NSW. Their piece features supporting columns on either side of the names list, with shelves at the top and bottom of the frame. Timber for the roll was cut from Mr Cunningham Henderson's property at Myrtle Creek. 

The memorial was unveiled at the church on 7 September 1919 by Mrs Henderson. On the day, two marble tablets were also unveiled by Mrs Henderson. One was a memorial dedicated to Corporal Erle Henderson who was killed in action at Passchendaele. Erle's name also appears on the timber roll (The Richmond River Express and Casino Kyogle Advertiser, 9 September 1919).

The roll is now located in St John's Uniting Church in Coraki, where it is available for viewing when the church is open to the public for services.
