Tyrone War Monument

The Tyrone War Monument was constructed in 1949 in memory of Tyrone men who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The two separate posts represent one for each World War, and hold brass plaques inscribed with the names of those fallen. The posts are composed of bricks, with a cement top, and are 50 inches high, 36 inches wide, and 18 inches thick. The monument was erected by the Tyrone Community Centre, and the plaques were supplied by the quilting club, Club 49.

Le monument aux morts de Tyrone a été érigé en 1949 à la mémoire des hommes de l’endroit qui ont perdu la vie pendant les Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales. Les deux colonnes séparées représentent chacune un de ces conflits mondiaux, et les noms des disparus y sont inscrits sur des plaques de laiton. Elles sont en briques, surmontées d’une plaque de ciment, et mesurent 50 pouces de hauteur, 36 pouces de largeur et 18 pouces d’épaisseur. Le monument a été érigé par le centre communautaire de Tyrone, et les plaques ont été fournies par le club de courtepointes (club 49).

Le texte de l’inscription figure dans la section anglaise.
