Memorial

What is recorded here

Seven memorial tablets now stand on the corners of the Armagh War Memorial, bearing the names of over five hundred and twenty servicemen and women who died in two World Wars. Volunteers at the Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum worked for years to identify the fallen, and Joe Center helped complete the project before his death in March 2021. On 3 September 2021, the anniversary of the outbreak of World War Two, Deputy Lieutenant Simon Cassells and Lord Mayor Glenn Barr unveiled the tablets while pipe music played and relatives watched. The memorial has finally given back what the wars took: the names of the people lost.
War memorial is recorded as a memorial in County Armagh. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
