Sebastopol - Crimean War

Welsford-Parker Monument (Sebastopol)

The Welsford-Parker Monument was erected in Halifax's Old Burying Ground on July 17, 1860 in memory of Captain William Parker and Major Augustus Welsford, Nova Scotians who died at Sebastopol in the Crimean War.  Halifax historian Thomas Raddall, by the way, referred to this monument as "a somewhat ugly brownstone arch".
