Description / Background

This honour roll is a traditional and elegant rectangular timber board, with a shelf at both the top and bottom. The board has a rectangular pediment, containing a carved wreath laying on a bed of oak leaves. Two black banners with gold trim highlight the title of the honour roll.

The names of 78 Second World War veterans are written in gold on the board, across three alphabetical columns. Two female veterans are listed separately below. A gold cross painted before a veteran's name indicates they were killed. At the bottom of the board are the names of veterans from both the Vietnam War and Malaysian Emergency. 

The honour roll is located inside the Woolbrook A.I.F. School of Arts Hall and is available for viewing when the hall is open for public occasions. It hangs alongside the Woolbrook First World War Roll of Honour, which is of similar construction and style. Both rolls were refurbished using funds from a 'Saluting Their Service Community Commemorative Grant', awarded in March 2017.

The names listed on this roll are also included on the bronze honour roll attached to the Woolbrook War Memorial, which is located outside the hall. The installation of that memorial was also made possible through the 2017 grant.
