Timber panelled Honour Board dedicated to individuals from the Department of Trade and Customs who served and in four cases died during the Great War. The Board is divided into three panels designated Customs, Excise and Meat Export. The Customs category lists 13 individuals, with 4 killed in action. The Excise section lists 12 individuals and the Meat Export section lists 8 individuals. A unique aspect of the Board is the inclusion of two carved Short Magazine Lee Enfield Rifles, the regular service weapon of the era, which are located on the flanks of the display.
