At present I work for Ards and North Down Council and the Holywood team have been working on identifying all the Priory cemetery war graves to honour the fallen with a wooden cross on Remberence Day this year.

This is just a quick message to thank you for the information you have provided on the Military Images site. Without your info we would definitely have missed a few.

Sydenham British Legion are kindly providing us with the crosses.

Thanks again,

Steve.
