The Friends of Hartwood Paupers Cemetery were honoured to host a moving and heartfelt rededication service for a World War One serviceman. ‌

Organised in partnership with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), the ceremony brought together the Depute Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, politicians, community members, veterans, and descendants of Private Patrick Tierney from his native County Kildare. ‌

Through the tireless work of the volunteers at Friends of Hartwood Paupers Cemetery, Patrick’s family has been reunited with the final resting place of their long-lost relative, who served his country with honour. ‌

This rededication ensures his sacrifice will be remembered and respected for generations to come.
