Description / Background

Two matching timber honour rolls, one for the First World War and the other for the Second World War. Both boards feature names in gilt, classical shaped pediments and small decorative timber rectangular blocks at the top and bottom of the board. They are now located in the Land of the Beardies History House Museum and Research Centre, Glen Innes.

The Manchester Unity Oddfellow Lodge, 'The Loyal Hand of Friendship' was established in 1868. The first Oddfellow Hall was built in 1897, but was destroyed by fire in 1918. The next hall was opened after the First World War. 

The Glen Innes Examiner on 19 August 1949 reported Bro. R W Colley, Deputy Grand Master of the Manchester Unity, was to visit the Glen Innes Lodge on Monday 22 August to launch the Second World War roll that evening. This roll was moved to the museum when this hall was demolished.
