7. War Memorials
The bronze war memorial tablet inscribed with 42 names commemorating those local men who had served and died during the Great War was dedicated on 2nd April 1921. Some three months later, on the initiative of the Vicar, the bronze St Edmund’s crown was fixed above the panel enclosed within a wreath of olive branches also in bronze. The crossed arrows point upward as they do on the table in the Memorial Chapel. Generally, however, where the symbol appears elsewhere, the arrows point downwards.
The World War Two Memorial commemorating 35 local men who had served and died for their country was dedicated in November 2014.
Our Post World War Two Memorial matching the World War Two Memorial was hung in 2017. At present this memorial commemorates the life of 18 year old parishioner and Gunner Kim MacCunn who was killed whilst peace-keeping in New Lodge Road, Belfast in June 1974.
