Memorial information

Description

Pressed copper Honour Board backed and supported by a silky oak frame. The Board complements another 'In Memoriam' Board whcih hangs opposite in the lift foyer of the second floor. The Board is significant in that it lists 119 individuals, who as members of the Club enlisted and served in World War I. The display includes the British and the Australian flags in copper relief and the designation of the The Brisbane Club as a central shield. The club motto in latin script is also included. The names are listed in eight columns and fifteen rows and would represent a vast cross section of Brisbane's business and organisational community of the era. There is a small presentation plaque at the base of the board.
