The wooden honour roll commemorates the members of the Methodist Church who served in World War One. It lists 55 names.  The roll has carved in it, a rising sun badge, and angel with a wreath in its right hand, and a lion.

Harvest thanksgiving services in connection with the local Methodist Church were held on Sunday, in ideal weather. A feature of the celebration was the unveiling in the church of the honor board to replace the old one in the hall.
Advocate (Burnie), 22nd March 1928.

Note: The “Tasmanian War Memorials Data Base”, compiled by Fred Thornett which is located at the State Library of Tasmania, contains a comprehensive listing of the names on this honour roll.
