28th Massachusetts Infantry Monument at Gettysburg National Military Park. The 28th MA was part of the Irish Brigade.
Journaling says: The 28th Massachusetts was the largest unit of the Irish Brigade. There were 220 soldiers in the unit who fought along a line where the monument currently stands. On top of the monument is a large eagle with folded wings, a symbol of peace. An Irish Harp is carved on the left face of the monument. Under the United States seal is the Gaelic slogan, “Faugh A Ballaugh,” which translates to “Clear the way.” The slogan was the rallying cry of the Irish units at Gettysburg.
