Description: drawing book; brown paper book of sketches from nature; 27 pages; hand drawn and painted; botanical samples of pressed wildflowers are also adhered to pages inside book and identified; "EMERALD / DRAWING / BOOK." commerically printed on front cover in green ink along with illustrations; "Nellie Gosling" handwritten on front cover in black ink; "Nellie Gosling / 1st Blackrock Company (Ireland) / Naturalists 1916" handwritten inside front cover; hand drawn and coloured flag display "UNITED WE STAND" on last page of book; flags of World War I allies Italy, France, Belgium, Great Britain, the United States of America, Portugal, Russia and Japan.

Object History: Drawing book was created by Nellie Gosling, First Blackrock Company, Ireland. The book may have been created to earn a badge. The drawing book was donated with items belonging to Dorothy Pitman, but it is unknown how she acquired it since she doesn't appear to have done the drawings herself. Dorothy Pitman was a Girl Guide in the 1st Burnaby Company. She was known to be involved with guiding from 1919 to 1931. Textual records and photographs of the Pitman family, including one of Dorothy and her sister Gwen, are held by the City of Burnaby Archives. Dorothy and Gwen's parents, Ernest and Jean Pitman, owned McKay Dry Goods and Jubilee Dry Goods.

honour roll

Accession Code: BV004.54.1

Description: Roll of Honor [sic]; 1916; Burnaby; large wooden tripartate frame with typed lists of names in each panel; left list "Burnaby Roll of Honour / Dec. 1915"; centre list "Dec. 1915 May 1916"; right list "May 1916"; watercolour images of war at top of each list; "The Great War" on brass plaque bottom centre.

Object History: Honour rolls that recognize individuals that serve in the time of war have been used by communities throughout Canada and the Commonwealth as a traditional act of remembrance. These memorials consist of a list of veterans that is compiled to ensure that names of all service men and women are included, with their rank and service acknowledged. The "Heroic Dead" have been traditionally marked on Canadian honour rolls with the addition of a cross and/or maple leaf beside the honoured name. Typically this sombre memorial is crafted in traditional style using calligraphy for the names listed on the "tablets" and native woods and brass for the frame materials. Burnaby has a proud history of men and women who served by volunteering for active service. The community honoured its war heroes during World War I with an impressive Honour Roll crafted by civic staff and dedicated at the former Municipal Hall at Edmonds on July 14, 1916. The intention of this memorial was to "keep the record bright before the people of the municipality". At the conclusion of this war over 1,200 names of service men and women were listed including over 90 "Heroic Dead" who paid the "ultimate sacrifice". The Burnaby Honour Roll remained as an important civic memorial on public display in the old municipal hall and was the focus of many annual Remembrance Day services. It consisted of a wooden frame with three paper "rolls." The Honour Roll unit was removed from the old municipal hall in 1956 when municipal council chambers and offices were relocated to the 4949 Canada Way hall site. It languished in storage and obscurity for decades until being "rediscovered" by a city works crew in 1993 and relocated to Burnaby Village Museum. It was professionally conserved by museum staff and in 2004 was placed in secure storage at the Museum. In 2005, the Heritage Commission approved a project that would provide a World War II Honour Roll to compliment the first one from 1916. The Government of Canada declared 2005 the "Year of the Veteran" so the City decided to create the new World War II honour roll by November 11, 2005 (Accession number X2834). It was determined that no complete Honour Roll of Burnaby's contribution to World War II yet existed. The research and creatin was completed so that both honour rolls could be displayed in City Hall in 2005. The intention was set that both honour rolls would be stored at the Museum and exhibited at City Hall during the month of November as part of the City's commemoration.
