A very interesting ceremony took Messrs W. Strange and Co.’s warehouse on Wednesday afternoon, when the chairman of directors (Mr iieorgo Harper) unveiled the, roll of honour erected to commemorate the part that the employees of the company had taken in the Great War. The roil is inscribed on a handsome oak tablet, designed and made in the firm’s factory, and contains thirty-eight, names, nine of whom made the supremo sacrifice. In unveiling the tablet Mr Harper said that it would stand as a memorial to tho men who had so loyally responded to the Empire’s call, and if in future years another war should necessitate the calling-up of the country’s manhood the roll of honour would be a stimulus to others to emulate the patriotism and service of those whose names appeared on it. Mr Harper congratulated the men who had returned to take their places again on the company’s s+alf and made feeling reference to those who had laid down their lives for their couatry.
