Queanbeyan Public School Great War Roll of Honor

Details

Location Isabella Street, Queanbeyan, New South Wales, Australia
Type honour_board
Description

A white marble tablet attached to the wall on the ground floor of the Gallagher Building at Queanbeyan Public School.

Of simple and chaste design in white marble, the Honor Roll is something to be proud of, and will be a lasting memorial of the brave men whose names are inscribed thereon, several of whom paid the supreme sacrifice.
The names of the men engraved thereon would be handed down to posterity. When the Germans set out to dominate the world they overlooked the thin line of kinship which permeated the Empire, and men from all its branches fought for honor and liberty in the hour of trial. They would ever honor and revere their names, especially those of men who had paid the supreme sacrifice. He was proud of the honor and privilege of unveiling the Honor Roll. As the Union Jack fell aside, revealing the beautiful memorial, the hymn, "Lead Kindly Light," was sung by all assembled.
