They paid the ultimate sacrifice', followed by quote from Laurence Binyon's 'For the Fallen' (1914): 'They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them'. UVF insignia below the plaque - Red Hand of Ulster, 'For God and Ulster'.
