Great War Roll of Honour (1915)

Cuningham Memorial Presbyterian Church Cullybackey

The following text is transcribed from the Ballymena Weekly Telegraph of 12th June 1915.

 


 

In our last issue we gave the roll of honour of All Saints R.C. Church, Ballymena, setting forth the names of the young men belonging thereto who had responded to the call of King and country. This week we append the roll of honour of the Cuningham Memorial Church, Cullybackey, of which Rev. Wm. H. Hutchison, Moderator of the Ballymena Presbytery, is the esteemed minister, and it will be seen that the young manhood of this congregation has made a good response to the call of duty. We append, as far as possible, in each instance, the full name, regiment, and where they are at present serving:--
