The brass honour roll commemorates former students of the Gumeracha School who served in World War One.

There was a large gathering at the unveiling of a roll of honor to the old scholars of the Gumeracha school, 50 of whom answered the call to duty. The Attorney-General (Hon. H. N. Barwell) performed the unveiling ceremony, and made a speech dealing with the war and repatriation. Mrs. T. Stott, sen., aged 86 years, the mother of two sons who had been to the front, assisted in the unveiling of the honor roll by removing the flag.
