Description

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia First and Second World Wars Honour Rolls are a set of four plaques located on either side of the Pitt Street doors to the Commonwealth Bank's main banking chamber. Each plaque is made of bronze and is of similar design. The larger two plaques are inscribed with the names of staff members who served in the First World War and also those who died.
