Smiles Sons Named on Roll of Honour on Belmont Road In East Belfast S. Smiles Lt, and W.A.Smiles Cap
These are the names of only a few of the brave men who
served voluntarily in the 1914 to 1915 war for King and Country. The Roll of
Honour shows the names of the sons of one of our great industrialist William
Holmes Smiles of Westbank House on the Palmerston Road Sydenham Belfast Northern
Ireland. William Holmes Smiles And Gustav Wilhelm Wolff Founded one of the
biggest companies in the World The Belfast Rope Works in East Belfast, yet these
two men who give so much to Northern Ireland are not Commemorated anywhere in
East Belfast. Gustav Wilhelm Wolff one of the the Founder members With Sir
Edward Harland founded the Belfast Shipyard one of the Largest in the World yet
these two men are not Commemorated anywhere in East Belfast the home of the
Belfast Shipyard and the Belfast Rope Works. Would it not be fitting to have
Gustav Wilhelm Wolff and William Holmes Smiles Commemorated at the sites where
they both lived in East Belfast Gustav Wolff The Den Station Road, and William
Smiles Palmerston Road. It is a very sad sight to see the sons of William Holmes
Smiles on the roll of honour yet know one knows know their history. We must let
them know just how great Northern Ireland was and how many great men actually
lived here and who they were and what they did to improve so many lives for the
people of Northern Ireland The Chairman Terry Hoey
