Irish Memorial


The Memorial is a Green Celtic Cross with an Irish Wolf Hound at its base. The Irish Wolf Hound is the symbol of LOYALTY. The inscription reads:
"Of those who in their manhood died to blot out Slavery's stain,And rear aloft in all its pride, fair Freedom's flag again!'Tis ours to raise this cross on high above the Irish dead,Who showed mankind the way to die, when Truth and Freedom led."
-from Our Fallen Comrades, by William Collins, 1888
