The Netherton public hall was opened in 1910. The Netherton roll of honour, unveiled in the hall in early April 1918, listed the names of 32 men who had served overseas, two of whom had died. A roll of honour published in the school history lists in addition one man who served in the South African War (W.J.D. Moore) and 56 men who served in the Second World War.
