Irvington Public School First World War Roll of Honor Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The Irvington Public School First World War Roll of Honor is a polished timber board, featuring carved timber supports on either side and supporting shelves at the top and bottom. At the top, the board is decorated with painted scrollwork and a pair of crossed Union Jack and Australian flags. The names of 25 ex-pupils from the school who served in the war, including eight who were killed, are listed alphabetically, which indicates the memorial was unveiled at the end of the war. The Casino and Kyogle Courier and North Coast Advertiser, 21 April 1920, reported that the board was the work of Jones and Brewster and was on view in one of McPhail and Mullet's show windows. The article listed all names on the board and stated it would be unveiled shortly at a social. Honorary Secretaries J. Lyons and H. Cameron advertised the event to be held on Friday, 23 April. The unveiling ceremony was reported in the Advertiser on 28 April 1920. A large number of local residents and visitors attended. Following dancing in the early part of the evening, Mr J. Lyons called on Mrs Webster to unveil the roll at 10.30pm. Several speeches were made by returned servicemen, refreshments were handed out at 12.00p.m. and dancing continued until a late hour. The school was open from July 1885 and closed in July 1933. The board is now located in the Casino Historical Society Museum.
