Loyal Clarence Lodge No. 507 M.U.I.O.O.F. Second World War Roll of Honour, Grafton

About

The memorial is a polished timber honour roll, with a carved curved pediment at the top, a supporting shelf at the bottom and carved columns on either side. The symbol of the Manchester Unity Independent Order is painted at the top in the centre of the board with M.U.I.O.O.F. written in gold lettering above. The names of 52 veterans, including three identified as killed, are listed in gold lettering on a black scroll which is centred on the board.  The Loyal Clarence Lodge was officially formed as a separate branch of the Manchester Unity Independent Order in September 1921. The Lodge became No. 507 and met regularly in the Manchester Unity Hall in Grafton (The Grafton Argus and Clarence River General Advertiser, 8 September 1921). The Loyal Clarence Lodge Roll of Honour would have been unveiled and dedicated in the Manchester Unity Hall after the Second World War. The honour roll was later moved to the Schaeffer House Museum where it is currently on display.
