About the memorial: Tandragee War Memorial is located at The Square in the centre of the village.The dedication and unveiling ceremony took place in April 1925. Major D. Graham Shillington; D.L., M.P., unveiled the memorial and the dedicatory prayer was said by Rev. R. S. Morrison, B,D., rector of Tandragee parish. Of grey granite, almost 25 feet high, the memorial stands in the square opposite the Castle gate. The broad base supports three broad steps symbolising endurance, faith, and love. On these rest the base and plinth, carrying a pedestal on which are inscription and names of the fallen ; above the pedestal is the capital from which rises a tall obelisk. On the front of the obelisk, above the inscription, is chiselled a memorial wreath. The whole structure is carried out in grey Newry granite, and, though massive, its proportions are so admirable that all suggestion of heaviness is eradicated.
