Tuckurimba Second World War Honour Roll Middle Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The memorial is a simply designed, polished timber honour roll for the Second World War. It features a vivid red banner at the top, which highlights the years of the war and the words 'Honour Roll'. The names are expertly printed in gold across three columns. The roll was unveiled at the Tuckurimba Public School during Empire Day celebrations on Friday, 23 May 1947. The Northern Star, 27 May 1947, published a detailed report of the event. Mr Geoff Hunt presided and welcomed the guests. Reverend Crossman addressed the audience and Mrs Henry MCaughey, representing the wives and mothers of the district, performed the unveiling. That afternoon, a sports day was held for the children. The school opened in April 1891 and closed in March 1975. Following the closure, the roll would have been moved to the Woodburn Shire Council Chambers. In time, the chambers became the home of the Mid-Richmond Historical Society Museum, also known as the Coraki Museum. The society received funding from Richmond Valley Council to restore the roll in 2015. Armstrong Signs of Casino, NSW, specialists in gold-leaf work, completed the work (Northern Star, 9 Dec 2015). Access to the roll is restricted to the opening hours of the museum.
