These latest plaques are spread across Ulster, from Newry in the south east, to the north west in Co Donegal. Apart from our busy plaque activities, the Circle has been hard at work enhancing the New Dictionary of Ulster Biography. All our work is unpaid, and Circle members meet regularly in committee every month, as fundraising and planning the plaques are always on-going activities, with the summer months often busy with events. I would like to thank my colleagues on the Circle committee for their support and their valued contributions throughout the year. A voluntary body like ours depends entirely on the continuing commitment of its committee members. On behalf of the Circle I would also like to record how much we appreciate the generosity of our funders: many of the City and District Councils, and those individuals, organisations, and businesses without whose help and support the Circle could not continue in its work commemorating and celebrating the many distinguished people from, or significantly connected with, Ulster, who are exemplified by those remembered this year.

    The First Seven Decades, 1900-1969 Ballykinler Camp The First Seven Decades,1900-1969 This project has been funded by the European Union’s PEACE III Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes A Down County Museum Publication Body and delivered by the North Down, Ards and Down Councils’ Cluster. Text by Philip Orr 1 Acknowledgements This project has been funded by the European Union’s PEACE III Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body and delivered by the North Down, Ards and Down Councils’ Cluster. Down County Museum’s PEACE III funded community history project aims to contribute to a reduction in sectarianism and racism across the North Down, Ards and Down Councils’ cluster by increasing understanding and awareness of a range of issues relating to cultural and community identity. The project seeks to provide opportunities to learn about local history and culture and produce resources which examine issues of cultural identity and diversity. The author wishes to acknowledge help given by current and former members of the armed forces who have served at Ballykinler, as well as staff who were employed there as range wardens. Help was also given by employees of the Sandes Homes and by local residents in the Ballykinler area. Staff of Down Museum are to be thanked for assistance throughout the project as are a wide range of friends and enthusiasts who volunteered relevant information. Particular thanks to Nigel Henderson for historical expertise and regular support, including a photographic record of the camp and its hinterland as seen today. The views and opinions expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect those of the European Commission or the Special EU Programmes Body.
