World War 1 Honour Roll
The Honour Roll commemorating those men who enlisted in
World War I took the unusual form of a large framed photo collection
plus five individual portraits of those who died on active service.
In the early 1990s the main roll was ruined by water damage.
Currently a project is underway to restore, as far as is feasible, the roll.
The table below details the progress made in
reconstituting the Honour Roll as at April 2003.
