The black painted wooden honour roll, with gilded lettering, attached to the front of the Soldiers Memorial Hall, commemorates those from the district who died in service or were killed in action in World War One. It was originally unveiled in the Mechanic's Institute Hall and moved to its present site in 1931. 

A large number of people assembled at St. Leonards for the unveiling of the honour roll for fallen soldiers. The chairman was Mr. J. C. Newton, M.H.A., and Mr. E. Manning unveiled the roll and Mr. W. Kelly sounded the "Last Post."
Examiner (Launceston ), 18th December 1920.
