The young manhood of Ballymena has responded nobly to the call of "King and country" in the present crisis, and in every church in the town may be found a "Roll of Honour," which bears the names of those of their members who have joined the colours since the outbreak of war, and are at present serving in either the Army or Navy. None have responded more loyally than the young men connected with St. Patrick's Church, of which Rev. Canon Ross, B.D., is the esteemed rectory and this week we append a full list of those who have joined to date, giving as far as possible in each instance the full name, home address, and regiment or ship.
