Historical information

Information from these notes is entered into 1931.03, temporary Honor Roll, but not into the larger (.01) Roll of Honor Book - apparently an unfinished project. This material was hidden within the large wooden Honor Board now in the foyer of Port Melbourne Town Hall.

Physical description
