Alstonville Circuit Second World War Roll of Honour

About

The memorial is a Gothic-shaped, timber roll of honour for the Second World War. It features a solidly-constructed frame, with carved columns that have been highly polished. The centre panel is decorated with colour paintings of the British flag, the Australian Red Ensign, and wattle. The dedication and names are printed in gold, below these.  The roll is for the Alstonville Circuit of the Alstonville Methodist Church. It was unveiled at the church on Anzac Day, 25 April 1928. Reverend E.G. Clancy conducted the service and stated, in part, "the highwater mark of love was self-sacrifice. This was always deserving of grateful homage" (Northern Star, 28 April 1948). The church is now known as the Alstonville Uniting Church and access to the memorial is restricted to its opening hours.  In 1977, the Uniting Church was created with the merging of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational Churches.
