“The above window is erected by the staff of the Belfast Banking Company Ltd in memory of those of their brother officials who died on the field of battle in the Great War 1914”

A 'paper copy' of the window is also held in the Head Office of Northern Bank in Donegall Square West, Belfast.  Following restoration to the frame, it has been installed in the same area as the other memorials.



A fellow researcher has provided me with scans of an article printed in the Belfast News Letter dated 9th December 1918.

Nigel Henderson's very informative website is located here:  Great War Ulster Newspaper Archive


Sir Edward Carson and Lady Carson were present, and there was a very large congregation, including friends of the fallen soldiers and members of the staff of the bank.
