This was erected after the 1914-1918 war to commemorate those servicemen and women buried at Milltown. There were 102 Commonwealth burials during WWI and 52 during WWII. Those of the 1914-1918 whose graves are not marked by headstones are named on the wall behind Cross of Sacrifice. The "empty" section behind the memorial, together with an adjoining plot, are where paupers and victims of the 1918-19 flu epidemic are buried. https://sites.google.com/site/ourheroesinmemoriam/carnmoney-main-cemetery/dundonald-cemetery/milltown-cemetery-belfast
