Fusiliers’ Arch - Dublin, Ireland - Freestanding Arches on Waymarking.com

«The form of this arch, 12 feet in width, is that of a Roman Triumphal Arch. It stands 32 feet 6 inches high. In its proportions it resembles the Arch of Titus in Rome.

Two inscriptions in latin appear on the arch. One reads: “In memory of the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who fell in the service of the country in the South African War 1899-1900 A.D.” Two hundred and twelve fusiliers died in this war.

The second inscription reads “To her own soldiers, the bravest of the brave, this monument Dublin hath dedicated in the year 1907.”

The main structure of the arch is of grey granite from Ballyknocken Quarry, Co. Wicklow. The inscription panels are of sheephouse limestone from Drogheda.

Erected 1907 by Citizens of Dublin.»
