ⓘ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.
The Belfast Cenotaph stands beside the City Hall in Donegall Square, with a colonnade and a sunken Garden of Remembrance. Designed by Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas and unveiled in 1929, the Cenotaph commemorates the dead of the First World War, while the Garden of Remembrance honours the dead of both World Wars and later conflicts. It is the focus of the annual Remembrance commemorations in Northern Ireland.

What this page does not claim
- This is the general civic war memorial of Belfast, not a Soviet or convoy-specific memorial; the Cenotaph was raised for the First World War, the Garden of Remembrance for both World Wars.
- Names of individuals commemorated belong on archival surfaces, not this discovery record.
- Endorsement by any named institution; the source is cited for documentary research only.
