The Roll of Honour for the Cordite Factory is now stored at Melbourne's Living Museum of the West. Many of themen listed on the board lived in Ascot Vale, across the river from the Factory.
The board has some incredibly detailed wood carving.
I'm off for a trawl around my boards. Sometimes they still have a supplier's plate on them - I reckon I have seen this one a few times, or at least the gumleaves and wattle. Wonder who their woodcarver was.
I am a community historian (ie, not paid) from Essendon. The content of my Empire Called database (see the link to the PBWorks website) is the result of nearly 25 years' research. The Empire Called blog is a companion for the PBWorks website of the same name.
Time Travellers in Essendon and Flemington is set up in the same way, with a website and a blog to report additions to the website. The website is a vehicle to publish longer pieces of research that are too long for newsletters, various indexes, and photos of local history interest. You may find something of use for your research.
