About the memorial: Dervock War Memorial Garden is situated in the centre of the village.‘Dervock and district sent forth their full quota of fit, sturdy lads for the great game in the world arena of war. They placed everything, even to life itself, at their country’s service, and it is a gratifying fact that such a splendid spirit of self-sacrifice has not been forgotten. The good folk of the Dervock district remember those who sprang into the breach; and while expressing in a practical manner their appreciation of the service of those who have returned, they have raised a fitting monument to the gallant dead. The Dervock War Memorial Institute-the first, perhaps, to be erected in Ireland-is almost completed. It comprises a main hall, sitting accommodation for upwards of 400 persons, together with large reading and recreation rooms, and a splendid kitchen. The cost incurred in building was £2000, the site being placed free at the disposal of the Building Committee by Captain C.G. Macartney, Lissanoure Castle. The committee, of which Dr. R. C. Miller was chairman, and Mr Samuel Killen, C.P.S., honorary secretary is to be congratulated on the success of the project, in which they had generous and spontaneous support.’ During the 1980s the Institute was demolished. The brass remembrance tablets are now displayed in a Memorial Garden. In front of the memorial tablets is a small obelisk with the inscription;- ‘In memory of those who gave their lives for their country in the cause of justice and freedom. We will remember them.
