A slain Irish soldier has been remembered in Belgium where a 300-year-old monument in his honour has been restored.
It had been forgotten about and fell into disrepair until it was rediscovered by a visitor to an old church, who brought it to the attention of the local Historical Society, according to Mayor of Trim, Cllr Noel French. He was one of the 20,000 strong Irish army who received a safe passage to emigrate to France as a soldier under King Louis XIV after the signing of the Treaty of Limerick.
The memorial stone was removed from the church in the mid-19th century but later replaced in the shelter of the now disused church.
