St Andrew's Anglican Church Sandakan Roll of Honour, Lismore

St Andrew's Anglican Church Sandakan Roll of Honour, Lismore
Description

The memorial is a simply designed bronze plaque with raised lettering. It features the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces insignia in the centre at the top, above the dedication and 47 names of those who died as a result of the Sandakan Death Marches in 1945. 

The roll was designed and installed in St Andrew's Anglican Church in Lismore by the Lismore Rotary Club, to commemorate those who made the supreme sacrifice. It was unveiled on 27 August 2015 by the Grafton Bishop, Right Reverend Dr Sarah Macneil.

Access to the memorial is restricted by the opening hours of the church. 

The roll is in addition to two other Sandakan memorials established by the club. In August 2010, they unveiled the Sandakan Memorial in Lismore Commemorative Park and in August 2012 commissioned the St Andrew's Anglican Church Sandakan Memorial Window, Lismore.
