Welsford-Parker Monument, Crimean War memorial in Halifax, Canada.

The Welsford-Parker Monument is a triumphal arch of sandstone in the Old Burial Ground in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is crowned by a lion statue weighing about 12 tons, larger than a real lion, carved by George Lang from sandstone brought from Albert County, New Brunswick. The arch is inscribed with the names of Crimean War battles: Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman, Tchernaya, Redan and Sebastopol.

The arch was unveiled on 17 July 1860, built by stone sculptor George Lang at a cost of 500 pounds. It commemorates Major Augustus Frederick Welsford of the 97th Regiment and Captain William Buck Carthew Augustus Parker of the 77th Regiment, both killed in 1855 at the Great Redan during the Siege of Sevastopol. The monument is the only Crimean War memorial in North America and the fourth oldest war monument in Canada.

The arch is also called the Welsford-Parker Monument after Major Augustus Frederick Welsford of the 97th Regiment and Captain William Buck Carthew Augustus Parker of the 77th Regiment, both Haligonians killed at the Great Redan in 1855. The names Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman, Tchernaya, Redan and Sebastopol are carved on it, and the Siege of Sevastopol later appeared in Tolstoy's Sebastopol Sketches and in the first Russian feature film.

The memorial sits in the Old Burying Ground, which opens from dawn to dusk during the warmer months. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the cemetery grounds are uneven and can be slippery in wet conditions.

The lion atop the arch weighs about 12 tonnes and is larger than a real lion; George Lang carved it from sandstone brought from Albert County, New Brunswick. The whole monument cost 500 pounds and was unveiled on 17 July 1860.
