16 members of the Burt Faith Defenders made the supreme sacrifice

Of the 16 members who volunteered six were to make the Supreme Sacrifice far from their native land.

Many of the others were wounded in action.We acknowledge the debt we owe to those we remember in this Roll of Honour and indeed to all those men and women from throughout the island of Ireland who served and died in that terrible conflict.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
