Stephens Green Fusiliers Arch

The Fusiliers Arch located at the northwest of Stephens Green Dublin commemorates soldiers of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who died in the Boer War between 1899-1902.
Almost 4,000 members of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers also died at Gallipoli during the landing at V-Beach on April 25th, 1915 & the Suvla Bay landings later that year when the 6th and 7th Dublin batallions sustained heavy losses.

Under plans drawn up for the Metro North expansion of Dublin's Luas service the Arch will be dismantled for up to 3 years while a quarter of the Park is turned into a construction site, dozens of mature trees in the park will also be removed.
Conservationists are concerned at the long-term effects on the antique park which was given to the people of Dublin in 1880 by Sir Arthur Edward Guinness (Lord Ardilaun.)
