Memorials and Monuments in The Royal Marines School of Music, Portsmouth (WW2 Musicians)

The design follows that used for the First World War Roll of Honour: four panels within a frame, all in oak and richly decorated with the Naval crown, carved laurel decorations and a scroll with the carved motto "Sans peur et sans reproche" ('Without fear and without reproach'). However the text size, spacing and style are different. This Roll, together with 'The Memorial Trumpets of the Royal Naval School of Music' later styled 'The Memorial Silver Trumpets of the Royal Marines School of Music', comprise the official War Memorial to the Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and men of the Royal Marine Bands who were trained at the Royal Naval School of Music and subsequently gave their lives during the Second World War. The cost was borne by every member of the Royal Naval School of Music, each of whom donated a day’s pay.

This Roll of Honour was hung at Deal, before transfer to the Royal Marines Band Service Headquarters at Portsmouth. It was transferred to the new Memorial Room at the Royal Marines School of Music in HMS Nelson, Portsmouth in 2012. 'The Memorial Silver Trumpets of the Royal Marines School of Music' are held, under appropriate conditions, at the Royal Marines Museum.
