Memorial History
Moneymore World War One War Memorial is located externally on the side wall of the Assembly Rooms building in the village.
The Assembly Rooms is located in Smith Street, at the crossroads with Fairhill Road.
The memorial faces the Church of Ireland Parish Church.
Pre-Memorial
The Assembly Rooms was designed by William J Booth and built in 1846 for the Draper’s Company estates.
Memorial Design and Construction
The memorial was produced by Robinsons of Belfast.
The memorial surround is made of Irish limestone with a panel made of Aberdeen red polished granite. The panel within the surround lists the names of 26 men from the district who gave their lives in the First World War.
The inscription reads:- ‘Erected in grateful remembrance of those who made the supreme sacrifice for King and Country during the Great War. 1914-1918,’ and at the bottom of the memorial:- ‘Lest We Forget.’
A separate World War One memorial tablet inside the hall includes the names of 162 other men who served during the war. This tablet makes the distinction between those who served overseas and those who served at home.
Erected in honour of the men who fought in the Great War 1914-18

Memorial Dedication
The unveiling ceremony was performed on the 12th October 1922 by Brigadier General Sir William Hacket-Pain, K.B.E., C.B., M.P. The dedicatory prayer was offered by Reverend W.J. McGeagh, B.A., Moneymore Presbyterian Church.
In his speech Mr Cousley (Redford) said they at home followed the heroic work of those brave fellows with great interest as they read in the papers of their gallant exploits in the fields of France and Flanders. With what a thrill of pride they read of the heroism shown by those solders that great 1st of July, 1916, when with the cry of “No Surrender” they pushed far beyond where they were ordered to go. (Applause.) Many of these men gave up their lives on that day. They were gone, but yet they at home did not believe they were lost to them. Continuing he said it was pleasant to see many of their brave men back with them again. He hoped every effort would be made to recognise what they had done, and that the Government would treat then with great sympathy. They had another duty also to their soldiers, namely, to support the cause for which they fought. While thinking chiefly of the men of the Ulster Division, they must not forget that other Irishmen too fought with great bravery for their King and country. The hearts of North and South were never closer than Major W. Redmond fell in action bravely and was carried in by members of Ulster Division.(Applause) He hoped the period of strife would soon over, that peace and good-will would prevail and all parties act together as friends and brothers.
