Hey all, I've been looking for a picture of The Irish Brigade Monument being dedicated at Gettysburg. Haven't had any luck. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

LOL! Some confusion over the meaning of 'being' dedicated ... I assumed it was new

Good to know it's been there for over 130 years.

LOL, I can appreciate the confusion!
I have found so many pictures of various monuments at Gettysburg from their days of dedication, I just have never found one for the Irish Brigade (or the 28th Ma or 116th Pa).

Well, I wish you luck on your search! Where have you gone looking for the images? I'm guessing newspapers?

Have you tried the archive sites? Hathitrust seems to have every, single regimental history ever penned and around a gazillion on monuments at Gettysburg. There's almost always a photo of vets at monument dedications in those old histories.
