| Description: A framed and glazed roll of honour printed on paper in full colour. At the head is a depiction of the Buck in the Park (part of the heraldic arms of the former County Borough of Derby) surrounded by the words "COUNTY BOROUGH OF DERBYSHIRE" (although there has never been any such organisation). Below that is a depiction of Florence Nightingale superimposed over an array of fourteen flags representing the allied nations of WW1 and below that is the heading in black decorative sentence case gothic lettering with enhanced capital letters in red and yellow. At the centre is a depiction of an unfurled scroll with names arranged in four columns in elaborate decorative script, the fallen prefixed with a small cross. At the foot is an allegorical depiction of Justice set within an oval panel. In the lower margin are explanatory notes, the names of church officials and the name of the printer. The frame is of wooden moulding and bears a small plastic plaque with the name of the donor. Glossary |
