Northdown Roll of HonourPrint Page
The wooden honour roll with gold lettering, commemorates those who served in World Wars One and Two. It lists 34 names, and was originally unveiled in 1918 to commemorate those who served in World War One.
Messrs. Wilson Bros, of Devonport, have just completed the construction of a very handsome honor board for St. James Church of England, Northdown. The board contains 30 names, which have been artistically written by Mr. T. J. Young. The board, which is constructed of Tasmanian oak, and is handsomely embellished, will cost about £14. In addition to the honor board, the Northdown congregation intend to erect a colored chancel window in honor of the men who have fallen. To date, nine have made the supreme sacrifice.
The North Western Advocate and the Emu Bay Times (Tas), 26th July 1918.
