Monument Unveiling: Pvt. Alexander Archer

The Beckwith Heritage Committee is proud to invite you to the unveiling of a restored monument honouring Private Alexander Archer, who served in the 91st Regiment of Foot under the command of the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsular War. Stolen from his tombstone years ago, the medals commemorating his engagement in the battles of Nivelle, Nice, Orthez, Toulouse, and Waterloo have now been recreated as first placed by the people of the Derry in 1880.

Please join us in paying tribute to Private Archer with the return of this historic monument.
