War Memorial Gallery

War Memorial Gallery
This small exhibition space beside St. Anne's Cathedral recalls the ravages of WW2 - both on the battlefield and during the Belfast Blitz. Artwork features strongly and attention is drawn to NI's wartime links with the USA. Soldiers' artefacts on display include a first aid haversack with playing cards, a packet of cigarettes and a Bible. Uniform-clad mannequins, shiny medals, propaganda posters and pieces of anti-aircraft shells are also on show. The most evocative display, however, is a revolving reel naming each of the 1000 men, women and children who died during the 1941 Belfast Blitz. A WW2 war veteran is usually on hand, so stop for a chat to learn more about the role Belfast played in this pivotal period of world history.

Free.
