Crimean War Memorial
| | Description |
Canada contributed men and resources to Britain's Crimean War (1853-1856) victory over the Russian Empire.
Nova Scotia's participation is remembered by the Welsford-Parker Monument located in the Old Burying Ground off Barrington Street in downtown Halifax.
The memorial is named after two Haligonians, Major Major Augustus Frederick Welsford of the 97th Regiment and Captain William Buck Carthew Augustus Parker of the 77th Regiment. Both died during the Siege of Sevastopol. The monument was unveiled on 17 July 1860.
Also of note, Nova Scotian Sir William Williams, 1st Baronet of Kars, served as commander during the Seige of Kars, later becoming Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.
