About the memorial: Brass Plaque. The names of the fallen are in a wreath at centre, flanked on either side by a column of names of the served and returned. Note that the dedicatory wording mentions stained glass windows, so this is a Composite memorial. Note among the fallen the unusual name of a 'Young Citizen Volunteer'. The Young Citizen Volunteers (YCV) was formed in 1912 and joined with the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) in 1914 to become its Belfast battalion. Following the conversion of the UVF into the Ulster Division, the YCV became the 14th Battalion of the Royal Irish Rifles. Known as the 'Chocolate Box Soldiers' because of their immaculate turn out, they were recruited largely from Belfast's middle class.
