Tirah Memorial

It commemorates soldiers of the 2nd Battalion Oxfordshire Light Infantry who died in 1897–98 on the Tirah Expedition and Punjab Frontier Campaign[1] to suppress rebel tribes on the North West Frontier of British India.

[1] It was erected in a public garden that had been the graveyard of St Peter-le-Bailey parish church[1] and is now Bonn Square.

The digging of the memorial's foundations unearthed human remains, which were re-interred at Osney Cemetery 1.2 miles (2 km) away.

[3] Men of the King's Own Scottish Borderers who died during the Tirah Expedition are commemorated on the memorial at North Bridge, Edinburgh, Scotland.
