The window is a lancet, thirteen feet high and three feet six
inches wide. It was designed by Miss Sara Purser, and made at her
stained-glass works in Pembroke Street, Dublin. The figure in the
centre represents King Cormac of Cashel--bishop, warrior, and scribe.
Miss Purser writes: “He is standing leaning on his sword, with his
warriors behind him; one holds his shield, and another a banner with
a dragon of an interlacing Celtic design. At the top of the window
two angels support his mitre. In a panel at the base, a mourning
angel leans over a shield bearing a badge of the Regiment--the Lion
of Nassau. On a scroll is the Regimental motto--‘Virtutis Namurcensis
Præmium’--and the Harp and Crown; the Sphinx and the Dragon are also
worked into the ornament.”
At the bottom of the window is inscribed on the glass:--
IN MEMORY OF THE OFFICERS, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, AND MEN
OF THE ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT WHO FELL IN THE
SOUTH AFRICAN WAR, 1899-1902.
As the Depôt of the Regiment is at Clonmel, in the diocese of Cashel,
the choice of the subject of the window is very appropriate, and Miss
Purser has been most successful in introducing the various regimental
devices into the design; the jewel-like colours of the glass are also
admirable.
VI. THE CRIMEAN WINDOW.
This is just visible in the picture to the right of the South African
Window. It is a lancet; at the top is the Harp and Crown, with wreath
of shamrocks, and a scroll bearing the regimental motto. In the
centre is a view of Sebastopol Harbour, and at the base an ornamental
design.
On a scroll below the window is the following inscription:--

All connected with the Regiment, both in the past and the present,
who may not have visited St Patrick’s Cathedral in recent years,
will be struck by the vast improvement lately effected through the
rearrangement and artistic grouping of the numerous Regimental
Memorials.
Upon this subject, Sir Thomas Drew wrote on August 20th, 1907: “The
real Memorial work was the collection of the previous Memorials of
the Regiment, which were casual and scattered, and rearranging them
with some general regard into a trophy in which the older Burmah and
China monuments of the Pagan and Early Victorian Era were grouped
with the dominant South African Votive Cross. They lent themselves, I
thought, very happily to component parts of one Regimental Memorial
of historic interest, to which the North Transept of the Cathedral
is dedicated now. As a whole, and properly photographed, I could
conceive no more effective frontispiece to a book on the Royal Irish
Regiment.”
The Very Reverend The Dean of St Patrick’s, in the course of his
speech at the ceremony of the unveiling of the South African
Memorial, said: “It is the privilege of the Chapter of the National
Cathedral to be the guardians of many memorials of distinguished
Irish regiments. But with no regiment are our ties so manifold and
so intimate as with the famous regiment which offers us to-day the
custody of its Memorial of the comrades who fell in South Africa. We
are surrounded at this end of the North Transept by your insignia
and the memorials of your past. In this place, hallowed by so many
memories of gallant men, it is fitting that you should offer, and
that we should welcome, a monument which will recall to future
generations the services which the 1st Battalion of the 18th Royal
Irish--the Royal Regiment of Ireland--rendered with faithfulness
and devotion for two years and a half during the last great trial
of our arms, the long death-roll--too long to inscribe on our walls
here--shows at how great a cost your duty was fulfilled.”
MEMORIALS OF THE ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT AT CLONMEL.
These consist of--
I. A Memorial Cross commemorative of the Campaigns in Afghanistan,
1879-80; Egypt, 1882; and the Nile Expedition, 1884-85.
II. A Monument commemorative of the South African War, 1899-1902.
THE AFGHANISTAN AND EGYPT CROSS.
This Memorial is placed in the Barrack Square at Clonmel, where the
Depôt of the Regiment is stationed. The design is that of an old
Celtic Cross adapted from one in Co. Sligo. It is executed in red
Aberdeen granite, the height is 7 feet 6 inches, width 2 feet 9
inches, and mounted on a base 2 feet 6 inches high. The designers
and executants of the work are Messrs H. Sibthorpe & Son, of 33
Molesworth Street, Dublin.
The inscription on the North face of the Cross is--
IN MEMORY OF THE OFFICERS, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, AND PRIVATE
SOLDIERS OF THE 1ST AND 2ND BATTALIONS OF THE ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT,
WHO DIED OF DISEASE OR WERE KILLED IN ACTION DURING THE CAMPAIGNS
OF AFGHANISTAN, 1879-80, AND EGYPT, 1882.
THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED BY THEIR COMRADES.

The names inscribed on the East, West, and South faces are given in
Appendix 2.
There was no public ceremony at the unveiling of this Memorial.
A picture of the Cross is at page 231.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR MEMORIAL, CLONMEL.
The ceremony of unveiling this Memorial was performed at the
Barracks, Clonmel, on October 5th, 1908, by the Marquis of Ormonde,
Honorary Colonel of the original 5th Battalion, now the 4th Special
Reserve Battalion, of the Royal Irish Regiment. About 350 men of the
2nd Battalion, under command of Colonel A. S. Orr, D.S.O., travelled
from Buttevant with the band and colours, and formed up on the
Barrack Square with the 3rd Special Reserve Battalion, under command
of Major R. O. Kellett.
After carrying out the ceremony of unveiling, the Marquis of Ormonde
addressed the troops, and recounted the services of the Regiment
during the War in South Africa. He made special mention of the
gallant deed of No. 3733, Private J. Barry, a Kilkenny man, who was
killed at Monument Hill on the night of January 6th, 1901. Private
Barry was awarded the Victoria Cross, and it was given to his widow.
Lord Ormonde further alluded to the fine fighting record of the Royal
Irish in all parts of the British Empire during two and a quarter
centuries.
Colonel A. S. Orr, D.S.O., responded on behalf of the Regiment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MEMORIAL.
_Designer_--R. CAULFEILD ORPEN, Esq., B.A., F.R.I.A.I., 13 South
Frederick Street, Dublin.
_Executants_--Messrs C. W. HARRISON & SONS, 178 Great Brunswick
Street, Dublin.
The Memorial consists of three stone seats, forming a triangle, set
on a circular platform, reached by three broad circular steps. Above
the backs of the seats, and filling the space which they enclose,
rises a triangular block of masonry having sunk panels on each of its
faces, the whole being surmounted by a carved stone cornice.
The work is executed throughout in fine selected Irish limestone from
the Stradbally quarries.
The height of the entire structure is fifteen feet, and the sides of
the triangle are eight feet.
The front panel on the triangle bears a female figure executed in
bronze in relief. The figure was designed and modelled by Miss
Beatrice Elvery, of Dublin, who also made the models for the bronze
wreaths and escutcheons which surround the Memorial immediately
below the carved stone cornice; the escutcheons show the regimental
badges. The two side panels on the triangle, which correspond in
size with the front panel, are filled with the roll of Officers,
Non-Commissioned Officers, and Men who fell in the Campaign.
On the panels behind the three seats the following inscriptions are
placed:--
Front--
SOUTH AFRICA, 1899-1902. TO THE MEMORY OF THE OFFICERS,
NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, AND MEN OF THE ROYAL IRISH
REGIMENT WHO WERE KILLED IN ACTION AND DIED OF WOUNDS
OR DISEASE DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
On the Right Side--
1899-1900. RELIEF OF KIMBERLEY, PAARDEBURG, JOHANNESBURG,
DIAMOND HILL, WITTEBERGEN.
On the Left Side--
1901-1902. CAPE COLONY, BELFAST, WITTEBERGEN, SOUTH AFRICA, 1901,
SOUTH AFRICA, 1902.
The names inscribed on the two side panels of the triangle are given
