To Perpetuate the Memory
of the 284 Gallant Soldiers
of the County Longford
who fell in the Great World War.

This Cross was erected by
the generous subscriptions of
their sorrowing relatives,
comrades and sympathisers.

R. I. P.

[Handwritten note hanging below reads:]

In memory of the 325 Longford men and women
who died in World Wars One and Two
and other conflicts

[Southwest face]

Those loving Heroes
good and kind
Beloved by those
they left behind
Forget them; no we never will
While life shall last
we,ll love them still.

[Southhwest face]

Death is swallowed
up in Victory

[Northwest face]

Greater love than this
no man hath. That a man
lay down his life
for his friends.
