The war memorial in Donaghacloney (sometimes “Donacloney”) was paid for by wounded soldiers who had returned from WW1 and by one of the local linen families. There are 200 names inscribed on the pedestal. 157 returned home while 43 did not. The majority of these soldiers were in the 13th and 16th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles. It is built of Cornish granite and shows a young soldier in full marching order.
