War Memorial Help Request
 

Would anyone be able to ID where this war memorial might be please, believed to be to the Connaught Rangers (Crimean War?)

Attachment 262428

Apologies for the poor image.

With thanks,

JT

Sorry, meant to add that it is also believed to be located in a London church (no idea if that is correct).

Many thanks.

My first thought was that it looked Crimean but possibly depicting a Russian soldier,?

Thanks Leigh.

I’m ashamed to say my Connaught Ranger / 88th Foot knowledge amounts to zero.

Just my impression, which may be completely wrong.

Possibly the Collegiate Church of St Nicholas in Galway?

Thanks for this. I did have a quick Google at this location (given its connection with the regiment). Looks like the memorial there is in the form of a Celtic Cross, though I suppose there could be others.

Just wondering if there is a London church with a Peninsula/Crimean War memorial to the Rangers?

Hi JT, Try contacting the Combined Irish Regiments Association

it's worth a try as they have members of all the Irish Regiments

including the disbanded ones,
