Can you help?

In 2018, WMT gave a grant towards this war memorial. As it has been a number of years since the grant was given, we would like an up-to-date condition survey and photographs to be added to this war memorial record. Can you help?

Status: On subsequent site(s)
Type: Non freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Attached to a building/structure
Description: Board/Plaque/ Tablet
Materials:
  • Stone Limestone
Lettering: Raised
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
About the memorial: The memorial is situated on the side wall of the original pump house for the Titanic Dock. The Memorial was originally installed in the North Yard of Workman, Clark and Co. It was commissioned by Mr Mrs Frank Workman to commemorate over 120 men from the shipyard including their only son Edward who fell in the Great War. After the closure of the Workman, Clarke and Co shipyard, the memorial was reinstalled in this position. Originally unveiled by Sir Edward Carson MP, it was rededicated for public display on Friday 16 May 2008 by the First Minister for Northern Ireland, Dr Ian Paisley MP. The memorial is the work of renowned Northern Ireland sculptress Sophie Rosamund Praeger (1867-1954). The design consists of a portrait of Edward Workman, flanked by the names of men from the shipyard and was originally supported by a pictorial frieze showing the story from enlistment to battlefield. The attached reference website gives full details for the 227 men from the shipyard who died in WW1- of those only 136 are named on the memorial. Over 2,000 men from the shipyard served, according to local newspaper reports (again see the website for more details). At the time of unveiling there were 116 names on the memorial, with a further 5 clearly marked out to be added, but not yet engraved. At a later, unknown date, the additional 15 names were added to bring the total to the current 136.
