Countless numbers of men and women lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.  The scale of the conflict was so vast that it left its mark on the rural heart of County Down, including Saintfield.  Thirty men from the town died in service during both world wars but the soldiers, as young as 19, have not been forgotten.

More information about those from Saintfield who died during the First and Second World Wars can be found HERE.
