Tenterfield Rifle Club First World War Honour Roll Middle Image Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The Tenterfield Rifle Club First World War Honour Roll is a decorative timber board, listing the names of 17 members who enlisted for service in the war. It features a carved pediment, columns, and small shelves at the top and bottom. The focal point of the piece is a painted panel featuring an image of a female lying on a beach, who appears to be grieving. Her scene is surrounded by an arch, supported by two columns. The arch is flanked by the flags of the Allied nations. This design broke the requirements of the Australian Government, which stated that women and children were not to feature on memorials after the war. The roll was presented to the club by John Francis Thomas in 1919. Thomas was a commanding officer of the Tenterfield Light Horse Brigade in the 1890s. He served in the South African War and as a solicitor, he represented Breaker Morant and several other Australian and English soldiers. Breaker Morant and Peter Handcock were executed by an English court in South Africa. Thomas was deeply affected by the result and saw it as a judicial execution (Tenterfield Star, 28 August 1919). The memorial is available for viewing during social functions held in the Tenterfield and District Soldiers Memorial Hall.
