World War 1914-18

Many men, both Catholic and Protestant, from towns and villages throughout Ireland lost their lives in combat during the First World War. Below are listed the names of those who appear on the Roll of Honour of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland as having been killed in action during the 1914-18 period. The Bellaghy Historical Society would be keen to receive information about those of other denominations who paid the ultimate price as a result of this horrendous conflict.
