Wallsend and Plattsburg.
At the Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening a roll of honour, erected by the members of the church, in recognition of the church adherents, who had enlisted for service, was unveiled by Mrs. A. Sneddon, sen., in the presence of a large congregation. The Rev. C. G. Walkam, who occupied the pulpit, preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion. The roll, which was constructed by Messrs. V. Bennett and Son, of Wickham, is of stained Queensland maple, polished. It has inscribed upon it 28 names, of which two—Privates J. Wishart and R. Hyslop, Jun,—are marked with an asterisk, denoting that they have made the supreme sacrifice.
