Celtic Park

Celtic Park, Enniskillen was the former Headquarters of the 28^th Infantry Regiment. General Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of Allied Forces inspected and addressed troops at Celtic Park on 18 May 1944. A granite plinth can be seen at Model School, adjacent to the park. It is situated in the walls at the Dublin Road entrance to the school. It records part of Eisenhower’s address to the regiment ‘I inspected your camp and your training.  You are made to work hard and train diligently.  For this work and this training there will come a day on the battlefield that will find you happy and proud of what you were required to do and what was enacted of you in your training’.  General Patton inspected the Regimental HQ on the 8^th February 1944.
