Killyleagh Castle, County Down.

Killyleagh War Memorial is located at the junction of Frederick Street and Shrigley Road. It is a marble plaque, made to the order of the Woman’s Work Guild, and placed on the flank tower of Killyleagh Castle at the end of the Linden Walk.

During the great war the members of this Guild gave their time, their leisure, and their skill to making woollen garments and comforts which would alleviate the sufferings that the men at the front had greatly to endure.  One day every week they met to settle and arrange what parcels and medical aids they could dispatch abroad.  Similar activities to this occurred all through the British Isles.

The unveiling and dedication ceremony was described as ‘short and simple.’

Surmounted by a shield and wreath, the tablet bears the following arresting inscription:

“All ye who pass by remember with gratitude the men of Killyleagh who gave their lives for others in the great war,

1914-1918”
