Mullumbimby Methodist Church (Brunswick Circuit) First World War Roll of Honor Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The memorial is a beautifully-designed timber roll of honor for the First World War. It has a carved pediment at the top, featuring three distinct sections, which contain the name of the church in gold lettering. The body of the board is divided into three panels, with the left and right panels being of matching design. They are decorated with the Australian and British flags and gold banners bearing the words 'Lest we forget'. Below each banner is a non-alphabetical list of members of the church who enlisted in the war. The left panel is edged by a simple timber frame but a similar frame is missing on the right panel. The centre panel is dedicated to the seven servicemen who lost their lives in the conflict. It features two gold crosses and the Australian and British flags at half-mast. There is also a small painting of a statue, which is possibly a 'Winged Victory', as the figure has wings on its back and its left arm is raised. The roll was made by Pullinger and Son, a long-established architect and contractor firm in Mullumbimby. It was unveiled by the Mayor, Alderman W.E. Selwood, on 17 August 1919 at the Mullumbimby Methodist Church The Tweed Daily, 23 August 1919, published a detailed account of the unveiling service. Reverend W.E. Barker called on the Mayor to perform the unveiling and he gave a short speech, which included reading out the names of those on the board. When describing the roll, the Daily said: The honor roll, which is erected over the pulpit, is handsome and extremely artistic, and was the work of Messrs. Pullinger and Son, Mullumbimby. A most tasteful scheme of decoration was carried out, consisting of flags, ferns and greenery, and there was also a number of wreaths in honour of the boys who had "Gone West" [died]. The Mullumbimby Uniting Church amalgamated with the Mullumbimby Methodist Church in 1977. The board is now located in the Uniting Church Hall. Access to it is restricted to the opening hours of the hall.
