1914-1918. To the Glory of God and in everlasting memory of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men from the Ballymena urban and rural districts who fell in the Great War. They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we shall remember them.

491 names on the memorial see full list in the following web site http://www/freewebs.com/snake43/ The Memorial also lists the names of 2 soldiers of the Royal Ulster Rifles who were Killed in Action during the Korean War
