In the presence of a very large attendance in the Kalgoorlie Town Hall yesterday afternoon, the Mayor of Kalgoorlie, Mr. B. Leslie, unveiled the Honour Roll containing the names of 375 ex-students of the Kalgoorlie Central School who had volunteered in the Empire's service.
The names are inscribed in gold script on a black: background, and the whole is surmounted with the words, 'Lest We Forget.' It is at once simple and impressive. A small star appears opposite several supreme sacrifice.
During the afternoon, Mr. Poynton, the headmaster of the Central School, announced that there was yet room on the board for the names of further ex-students who had enlisted. These would be added as they came to hand.
