"Irish Brigade"
A monument to the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment is south of Gettysburg on Sickles Avenue. It was dedicated in 1888 by the State of Pennsylvania.
The 116th Pennsylvania was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Major St. Clair A. Mulholland, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Company B was detached, serving as the Division Provost Guard.
The monument was erected in 1888 by the State of Pennsylvania and depicts a fallen soldier lying next to a stone wall and fence. The soldier was probably modelled after Sergeant Charles Gardner of the 110th Pennsylvania Infantry, who Major Mulholland's adjutant sketched after finding the sergeant lying dead with a peaceful smile.
