Remembrance Day

As an act of remembrance, at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month Lisburn Distillery Football Club remembers all those who were sadly killed during the two World Wars and in particular to those who died in the First Word War, who were a part of our club:-

William Brolly

Samuel Long

David Drennan

Donald Sloan

John Spencer Dunville

George Gill

John “Jack” Johnston

James White

Alexander “Sandy” Johnson

William Stewart

Before our recent home game against Moyola Park we held our annual Remembrance Service and our thanks to our friend and supporter, Rev Norman Fox, and our Club Chaplain, Terry Moore, for organising this.

Thanks also to our Club Historian, Dawson Simpson, who could not join us at the service this year but provided some details on the above men’s service and time with Distillery FC that was read out on the day.

“They shall grow not 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.”
