This World War I honor roll in Wrentham, Massachusetts was transcribed by Sandra Dahlfred from an old newspaper article. It is not located with the other military honor rolls on Wrentham Common, but it is at the intersection of South, Franklin and Bank Streets. The photo of this flagpole and honor roll plaque was taken from Google Streetview.
This bronze flagpole base is decorated with sphinxes on each corner and wreaths beneath inscriptions on each side. On the top is a tulip-shaped holder for the flagpole. It was created by Joseph G. Cowell of Wrentham and Gorham Manufacturing Company of Providence, Rhode Island, and dedicated in 1924 to honor the Wrentham citizens who served in WWI.
