About the memorial: Aghadowey War Memorial is at a junction on the B66 road about 300 metres east of Aghadowey Presbyterian Church. This memorial was erected at a cost of £700 and is the work of Messrs. John Robinson and Son, York Street, Belfast. Its height is 20 feet (6.75m) and the weight about eight tons. The obelisk is of granite, with polished panels, and mounted on a cement pedestal, having circular steps at top of six broad steps rising from the pathway. The site, which is a triangular shaped piece of ground, was the gift of Mr. George Gilmore, Carnrallagh. Out of that parish 205 of their young people had volunteered to fight for their country in the great war, and 35 of them were killed.
