Fusiliers' Arch, Memorial arch at St Stephen's Green entrance, Dublin, Ireland
The Fusiliers Arch stands 9.9 meters high at the Grafton Street entrance to St Stephen's Green, constructed from granite with limestone inscriptions and bronze decorations.
Built in 1907, this monument commemorates 222 Royal Dublin Fusiliers who died during the Second Boer War between 1899 and 1902 in South Africa.
The structure bears marks from machine-gun fire during the 1916 Easter Rising, reflecting the complex relationship between Irish and British military history.
Visitors can access the monument freely throughout the year, with multiple bus routes and the Luas Green line stopping near St Stephen's Green station.
The underside of the arch lists six major battlefields where the Fusiliers fought: Talana, Ladysmith, Colenso, Tugela Heights, Hartshill, and Laings Nek.
