Rappville Second World War Roll of Honour (Destroyed) Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background Note: This roll of honour no longer exists. It was destroyed in a bushfire in 2019. Former description This war memorial was a timber honour roll for the Second World War and featured a classical pediment on the top. The names were printed in gold in the centre of the board, in alphabetical order across two columns. Seven names were added at a later date, bringing the total to 40. Four names were marked with a Latin cross, indicating the veteran had been a Prisoner of War, and six names were marked with a gold star, indicating they made the supreme sacrifice. Both columns were protected by a pane of glass, inset into a timber border. This gave the memorial a cabinet-like appearance. The origins and unveiling details of the roll are not known. However, it was likely made after the end of the war. No mention of it was made in an article in the Daily Examiner on 15 April 1946, which described the final welcome home event for servicemen, held at the Rappville Hall the previous week. Several of the veterans listed on the roll were in attendance and they were presented with inscribed gold medals. The roll was on display at the hall until late 2019. That October, the hall and its contents were destroyed in a bushfire. The roll, along with two others, were lost as a result. They are listed separately on the NSW War Memorials Register as the Rappville and District Great War Roll of Honour (Destroyed) and the Wyan School and District First World War Roll of Honour (Destroyed).
