Bowling Alley Point Great War Roll of Honour

About

Bowling Alley Point was a small settlement based on gold mining located in the Nundle District in the 1800s. It once had hotels, a post office, a school, as well as Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. By May 1917, there was also a Union Church where this Roll of Honour was unveiled on Monday, 7 May 1917. Reverend Mills-Robson presided at the ceremony and Miss Lily Brann, daughter of the late Sergeant G. A. Brann, unveiled the memorial.  The Daily Observer on 11 May 1917 described the ceremony and listed the names on the Roll. Since that date, two wooden panels were added to the left and right sides of the original board, and additional names inscribed. At a later date, the Roll was moved from the Bowling Alley Point Church to the Nundle Memorial Hall.
