Remembrance in Adare
Adare Community Council will host a World War I heritage event to commemorate the 21 young men from the Adare area who lost their lives in World War I.
These men came from all classes and creeds in the area and many, sadly, were not honoured for their gallantry, fighting for “the freedom of small nations”.
There will be a public display of memorabilia from the War in the Adare Village Hall, on Saturday, 4th November, from 1.00 to 4.30pm, and on Sunday, 5th November, from 10am to 4.30pm.
People with houses or outbuildings of that era may have articles or items. Experts will be available to examine items which attendees may wish to have assessed.
On Friday, 10th November, at 7.30pm, St. Nicholas Church of the Church of Ireland will host a Commemoration in Poetry, Song, and Prayers, highlighting the work of a selection of World War I poets.
On Sunday, 12th November, for the observation of Remembrance Sunday, the week will conclude with an Ecumenical Service in St. Nicholas Church, at 12.30 pm, followed by the dedication of a memorial plaque.
This plaque will list the names of the dead, as well as their military details and burial places. It will be placed on a cut stone obelisk to be located in the planned sensory garden in the Adare Village Park.
