A
t 11am on the 11th November 2018 a memorial
will be unveiled in King House in Boyle precisely
100 years to the hour and day the guns finally fell
silent on the western front, the Great War had ended.
With the support and goodwill of Roscommon County
Council the Connaught Ranger's Association (CRA)
committee will realise its final aim - to unveil a memorial
to the 127 men of Boyle and its environs who lost their
lives in the Great War. These men saw Boyle as their
home and that is reflected on their enlistment papers
which bar one name was the procedure the CRA pursued
to come up with the many names on the memorial.
It is a fitting tribute that these soldiers, who came
from all backgrounds and religions from the town and
countryside around Boyle, will finally be remembered by
name along with the numerous units they served and
died with. The unveiling will take place in the Connaught
Rangers Association's 'Room of Remembrance' in King
House, where photographs of soldiers who were killed
serving with the Connaught Ranger's Regiment hang
from the walls. It is also fitting that this memorial will
be located in King House as many of the soldiers who
are being remembered would have served in King house
when it was a military barracks, or would have enlisted
there before seeing active service abroad during the war.
In one sense they have finally come home.
