Fusiliers' Arch a Boer War memorial on the north west corner of St. Stephen's Green in the style of a Roman triumphal arch built to commemorate soldiers in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who were killed in the Boer War.
It was built in 1904 to a design by H. Pentland. Known locally as 'Traitor's Gate', there is a story that one of the names on the monument is that of a soldier who had deserted and who, having worked his way overland, eventually arrived back in Dublin to find himself listed as dead.
