The account of the 19 November 1955 ceremony in Education referred to the third memorial, the Book of Remembrance, which would contain the names of all NSW public school teachers who had served in both World Wars.

The book was “now being completed and will be placed in the Federation Library.”⁵³

The Federation President had reported to Council a fortnight before the unveiling of the plaque by Mr Drummond that:

…it was anticipated that the Book…would be completed by ANZAC Day [1956]…it was recommended that it should be kept in a cabinet similar to that installed at the GPO.⁵⁴

 As mentioned earlier, the finalisation of the Book of Remembrance proved much more complex and time-consuming than had been anticipated. The delay was discussed by the Federation Executive in June 1961 and June the following year. It was not until May 1963 that the Federation President could report that “the…Book was now in its place in the Federation Library and the Librarian would turn one page…each day.” Thanks were expressed to Mr Tom Spencer “who had devoted so much time to the preparation of the Book and to the Committee which handled the matter.”  It had been a mammoth task stretching back to the formation of the Soldier-Teachers Memorial Committee in mid-1949.
