Strabane Memorial
This memorial is dedicated to the five men from this village who never returned from the First World War. Details of their deaths are given with dates and circumstances, something most cenotaphs do not include. The memorial was erected by the “Patriotic Citizens” of this community to forever remember the sacrifice of their native sons. A loving tribute. Lest We Forget.
