In memory of all those who sacrificed their lives during WWI.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
Armistice Day is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, at 5:45 am[1] for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven in the morning—the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918.
In November 2014, on the 100th Anniversary of the start of the Great War, the Kilkee Civic Trust unveiled a Memorial to those who sacrificed their lives from the Parishes of Doonbeg, Kilkee, Carrigaholt & Kilballyowen.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
