Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Bessbrook War Memorial in Charlemont Square Bessbrook War Memorial is located in Charlemont Square in the middle of the village.
The memorial, on which are the names of 86 men of the village who made the supreme sacrifice, takes the form of an obelisk. It is over 17 feet (5.75m) tall and is made from white marble and Newry granite and occupies a central site in the village. The massive base, check and chamber, with patent axed finish supports a richly molded base and deeply paneled die with the top of octagonal and four sides enhanced with graceful swags of carving. Supporting the die is a beautifully draped spire with central shield bearing in relief the dates 1914-18. 410 men from Bessbrook and district joining up. Many of these young men in the pride of their youth left that happy and peaceful country village and everything that was near and dear to them to answer the call of their King and Country in the time of danger, and of that 410 men, 86 never returned. |
