Tirah Memorial, War memorial in Bonn Square, Oxford, England.
The Tirah Memorial consists of a twenty-five feet high obelisk constructed from Bath stone with a Doulting stone base in central Oxford.
The memorial honors 62 soldiers from the 2nd Battalion Oxfordshire Light Infantry who died during the North West Frontier of India campaign between 1897 and 1898.
The monument stands on the former graveyard of St Peter-le-Bailey parish church, where human remains were discovered during construction and transferred to Osney Cemetery.
Visitors can find this Grade II listed memorial at the intersection of Queen Street and New Inn Hall Street, next to the Westgate Shopping Centre.
The carved wreath on the pedestal incorporates the number 52, referencing the old designation of the Battalion as the 52nd Oxfordshire Regiment of the Line.
