Project title: 

 Diamond War Memorial 


Programme: Your Heritage 
Applicant: Holywell Trust 
Grant awarded: £49,800 
 

The Diamond War Memorial project revealed the stories of the men commemorated on the monument in the centre of Derry-Londonderry.

The discovery that an almost equal number of local people from Unionist and Nationalist backgrounds fought in the First World War challenged perceptions about identity and the monument itself, now viewed as a shared landmark in the city.
