The Roll of Honour was originally located in Queen Street Mission Hall. The Mona's Herald, 13 September 1916 states that: "The movement to get a Roll of Honour for Queen Street was initiated by the Rev G.A. Bayley, and an offer was made by a Castletown gentleman, who wishes to remain anonymous, to pay the cost of getting it up. The names were beautifully inscribed by Mr R.W. Moore, of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Bank, Castletown, and the Roll was enclosed in a heavy oak frame. Thanks were expressed to the various gentlemen responsible for bringing the idea to fruition."
