The Randalstown Branch of the Royal British Legion was formed
in 1925 by the surviving ex-
service personnel from the area.
The Second World War again saw many of Randalstown's young
men and women putting their
country and community before all by joining Navy,Army and
Air Force.This service has to be seen as even more selfless when one
remembers that conscription was
not extended to Northern Ireland and all service was voluntary.
Over 400 men and women from Randalstown served during the
two World Wars and sadly
more than 80 did not return.
