Second World War Honour Roll

This Honour Roll originally hung in the Palermo Community Hall on Old Bronte Road. When the hall was torn down for road expansion, it was moved to the Trafalgar Town Hall on the southeast corner of Dundas and Trafalgar Streets. Sometime in 2000, when the hall was demolished, the Honour Roll was moved to the Oakville Town Hall and the town gave it to the Trafalgar Township Historical Society in December 2021.

It now hangs in the stairwell of the old Palermo one room Schoolhouse under the care of the Trafalgar Township Historical Society. The Honour Roll lists the volunteers of the Palermo community who served in the Second World War. It is illuminated and beautifully decorated with the symbols of Canada.

At the bottom, slightly right of the center are the initials AJC. A.J. Casson, the youngest member of a Canadian group of artists known as the Group of Seven, was the designer of the Honour Roll format, but the original calligraphy of the names in this example is not likely the work of A.J. Casson.
