Hear the poignant personal stories behind battlefield grave markers in Egypt, France and Gallipoli, as well as the stories behind workplace honour rolls, one of the most common, but often hidden, forms of war memorial in Australia.
Many honour rolls take the form of honour boards, panels of timber with names lettered in gold or white. Some have minimal decoration, others are elaborately carved. Honour rolls may also be manufactured in bronze or other metals and take the form of plaques or tablets with names embossed in relief.
The Sydney Mint honour roll hangs in the southern stair hall of the former Royal Mint building on Macquarie Street.
