ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
Belfast was a major shipbuilding city and Atlantic port, heavily bombed in the Belfast Blitz of 1941. Beside the City Hall, the Cenotaph and its Garden of Remembrance honour the dead of both World Wars. This page gathers sourced places of wartime remembrance across Northern Ireland.
This page is maintained within the coordinator network. Confirming and upholding the accuracy of its content is the coordinator’s responsibility.
What this page does not claim
- This page gathers sourced memorials across Northern Ireland; it does not claim to be a complete record.
- It does not assert a Soviet-specific connection for every site — each memorial carries its own honest scope note.
- Endorsement by any named institution; sources are cited for documentary research only.
