The book “From Partition to Peace” by Stanley Burrows BEM is a chronology of all those murdered in Co Armagh whose names will be on the Memorial Wall. It covers from the formation of the USC in 1920 to the present day - all 345 names. Books will be offered for a voluntary donation of £10. All proceeds to County Armagh memorial Wall.
At the same night a Memorial patchwork quilt will be ‘unveiled’ that has been sewn by the ladies of CAPG and will be on display in the CAPG off...ice following the book launch for people to view. A light supper will be provided. Everyone welcome to attend.
