Today’s Roll of Honour is dominated by the loss of navy men in the Battle of Coronel in WW1 who are remembered in the Falklands Cathedral. Gervase Bruce from Castlerock was only 15 years old when he died. 12 of the Irish Guards fell this day in 1914. Andrew Mulholland of Ballywalter played cricket for Eton and Oxford. A member of MCC, and a former NI Horse officer, he died serving with the Irish Guards at Ypres. There are five Royal Irish Rifles entries in today’s Roll. In WW2 RAF men from Ballymena, Lurgan and Portadown are remembered at Malta, Alamein and Runnymeade.
