Funded by Lisburn City Council and coinciding with European Heritage Day, the September 13 exhibition will be housed at Ballinderry War Memorial Hall, whose management committee is assuring visitors of a warm welcome.

Committee chairman, Mr Eddie Carson, hopes the public will follow the example of two local primary schools, Lower Ballinderry and Ballycarrickmaddy, both lined up to attend the event.

Meanwhile, the committee is appealing for anyone who has any information - also perhaps pictures, medals, certificates and so on - in respect of any or all of those named on the memorial, to get in touch, either with Eddie himself, on 077 6415 4054, or with any committee member.

Next Saturday’s exhibition will include a small display by the Ulster Aviation Society and another by Lagan Valley Historical Association.

The event runs in Ballinderry War Memorial Hall, North Street from 9am-5pm - featuring music by the Dynamic Brass Band from 1.30-2.30pm - admission is free.
