Stories in Stone
Roll of Honour
War reached even a quiet Tipperary parish. Among these graves lie men and women who carried a military connection — soldiers who fell in foreign fields and were never brought home, those who served and returned to be buried among their own, and the families who bore the loss. Each stone gathered here names a regiment, a rank, or a life shortened by the Great War or the Second World War: small windows onto how the wider world reached into Nenagh, and a quiet act of remembrance for those who answered its call.
