Arundel took part in the ‘There but not there’ national commemorative project by installing 93 silhouettes representing Arundel’s ‘Roll of Honour’.
The project’s aims were simple:
Commemorate those who died in the First World War through installations of silhouettes and Tommies wherever there is a Roll of Honour.
To Educate all generations, particularly today’s younger generation, born nearly 100 years after the outbreak of WW1, to understand what led to the deaths of 888,246 British and Commonwealth service personnel.
Heal today’s veterans who are suffering from the mental and physical wounds of their service by raising substantial funds through sales of our Tommies,
Poignant and very effective
The installations were poignant and moving. A time for reflection.
What a meaningful installation.
The concept is moving
The silhouettes are very moving and poignant – I saw one yesterday in Stratford. A lovely set of photos.
The silhouettes give pause for thought.
i was not familiar with silhouette but after reading this post i searched for it and found it so touching
wars are games for politicians ,they protect their personal goals by causing death and misery to the world
i wish one day common people and soldiers can say no to them as no common man want war except these selfish groups
“wars are games for politicians ,they protect their personal goals by causing death and misery to the world”
So true!
My wish is that people that understand this will on day unite against the games.
