Bronze next of kin plaque, showing on the obverse, Britannia holding a laurel wreath, the British lion, dolphins, a spray of oak leaves and the words 'HE DIED FOR FREEDOM AND HONOUR' around the edge. Beneath the main figures, the British lion defeats the German eagle. The initials 'ECP', for the designer Edward Carter Preston appear above the lion's right forepaw. A raised rectangle above the lion's head bears the name 'JAMES ORR'. A checker's mark, '409', is impressed behind the lion's rear left paw.

30994 Gunner James Orr was born in Scotland and emigrated with his family to Australia at the age of six. He was 32 years old and employed as a grocer when he enlisted in the AIF on 10 July 1916. Initially assigned to 3rd Field Artillery Brigade, Orr transferred to 13 FAB two months before he was killed in action near Dickebusche, Belgium on 28 October 1917. He is buried at The Huts Cemetery, Ypres.

This commemorative plaque was sent to Orr's elder brother, John, in 1923.
