- Description
- Portrait-oriented rectangular printed Roll of Honour, at top-centre of which are two crossed flags surmounted by the Salvation Army badge, which bisects the printed text “For God, King and Country!”. The top-left and top-right corners (respectively) have a depiction of a uniformed sailor and a soldier, each with rifles at rest. The central section of the Roll comprises five printed column-headings, beneath which are the handwritten names etc of those who served (some of which include later corrections to earlier details). [N.B. Durham Record Office catalogued this memorial as having originated 'probably from the Winlaton area'. As the memorial recorded 12 of the 14 men's home addresses as being within Chopwell, it is believed to have originally hung in the Salvation Army Hall, in South Road, Chopwell].
