The wooden honour roll commemorates those who served in World War One.
The roll of honour board, erected by the Franklin Roll of Honour Committee, and bearing the names of 200 Franklin soldiers who have served in the war, was unveiled bv Mr Justice Ewing in the Franklin Town Hall on Wednesday evening. The board is of blackwood handsomely ornamented with the soldiers names inscribed in gold: twenty of them are prefixed by the fatal asterisk which means killed in action. It has been supplied by Messrs Crisp and Gunn Hobart at a cost of about £24.
