Welsford-Parker Monument, Crimean War memorial in Halifax, Canada.
The Welsford-Parker Monument features a stone arch structure with a carved lion statue positioned at its peak in the Old Burying Ground.
Built in 1860, this memorial honors Major A.F. Welsford and Captain W.B.C.A. Parker who died during the assault on Great Redan at Sebastopol in 1855.
The monument represents North American recognition of Canadian soldiers' participation in the Crimean War through architectural and sculptural elements.
Located at 1480 Barrington Street, the memorial stands at the entrance of the Old Burying Ground, which opens from dawn until dusk between May and October.
This structure remains the only Crimean War memorial in North America, designed and constructed by George Laing through public donations and government funding.
