Description
A photograph of a framed World War II "For King and Country" Honour Roll hanging in Ravenna Hall. The document serves as a localized community memorial, listing the names of residents from Collingwood Township who volunteered for active service with Canada’s Fighting Forces. The service members' names are inscribed by hand in alphabetical order.
A photograph of a printed illuminated scroll housed in a wall-mounted frame.
Border & Heraldry: The document is framed by a distinctive red and white checkered rectangular border. Prominently displayed at the top center within the border is the 1921 version of the Canadian Coat of Arms, featuring a gold lion opposite a white unicorn, alongside shields displaying provincial and royal insignia.
Header Text: Below the coat of arms, the printed introductory text reads: "FOR KING AND COUNTRY / MEMBERS OF [Collingwood Township] / WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED FOR ACTIVE SERVICE / WITH / CANADA'S FIGHTING FORCES."
Illuminated Details: A decorative horizontal band featuring a blue, red, and green laurel motif divides the header from the name registry. Extending downward from this band is a large, stylized Crusader's sword that vertically divides the columns where the service members' names are written.
