The Great War, 1914 to 1918

In the minutes of 2 December 1917 it is recorded that the minister had purchased Christmas gifts for those that volunteered from this neighbourhood and were members of Fahan and Inch.  These included cigarette cases filled with cigarettes, hair brushes, handkerchiefs, picture frames.  On 20 November 1920 Mrs Mitchell, Fahan, requested permission to erect a tablet in the church to the memory of her son Andrew.   The approval of a mural tablet to the memory to the fallen heroes was given with the congregation bearing expenses and a bronze tablet would cost £45.00 or £50.00.  Mrs Brewster was asked to perform the unveiling at the dedication of a mural tablet in memory of those who served in the Great War.  This occurred on Sabbath 17 April 1921 at 12.30 and the preacher was Rev Dr Lowe (Moderator - Designate).
