The honour roll commemorates those from the District who served in World War One and World War Two.

A very pleasing ceremony was conducted in the Port Neill Hall on the evening of September 13, when a large crowd gathered to witness the unveiling of the new honor roll — a very artistic piece of workmanship, containing the names of those who enlisted from Port Neill and District in World Wars 1 and 2.  Rev. J. V. Morgan gave the Scripture reading and prayer. Dr. B. W. Wibberley performed the unveiling ceremony in a very able manner, and in an excellent speech held the interest of all present. The ceremony concluded with two minutes' silence, the singing of the National Anthem and Benediction.
