Ulster Memorial Tower

The Ulster Memorial Tower is Northern Ireland's National War Memorial located in Thiepval, France, 


It was one of the first memorials to be erected on the Western Front and commemorates the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division and all those from Ulster who served in the First World War. 

The memorial officially opened on 19 November 1921 and is a very close copy of Helen's Tower that stands in the grounds of the Clandeboye Estate, County Down, Northern Ireland.

Many of the men of the Ulster Division trained in the estate before moving to England and then France early in 1916.
