New Lambton Public School Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates former students of the school who served in World War One.
This is what remains of the honour roll. Apparently it was placed underneath the school building when the Royal Australian Air Force took over the school during World War Two, and remained there for many years. As a result the honour roll has deteriorated.
There was a large gathering at the New Lambton Public School on Thursday afternoon to witness the unveiling of the roll of honour of ex-pupils of the school who have enlisted. The roll, which was made by Messrs Mackie and Coy., and hangs in a prominent position in the school room, is of polished silky oak and contains 82 names, six being marked by an asterisk, denoting that they had made the supreme sacrifice, and one, J. Mitchell, had received the D.C.M. Mr. Estell, M.P., who performed the unveiling ceremony spoke appropriately to the occasion, as did also the Revs. Beetman and Weatherall. The children, under the direction of Mr. Mitchell, rendered patriotic choruses.
