Hello.
Don't want to be too political,but WW1 was rarely a strugggle for freedom and independence.
It has been a struggle of who is going to dominate the world.
Both sides have had their own capitalistic interests and had been willing to let millions die for it.
No side has been fighting for freedom.That's what the particular propaganda told the blind mass.
Cheers,Ralph

Lets keep this thread what it is about. The metal sculpture and who/what it represents. Please keep all politics and opinions of the war out of the thread.
Thanks for understanding.

Hi Phil ,
The head is made from many plates cut in profiles and laminated together you can not see the welds from the outside but could be welded internally and under the helmet. It works well and will probably get better with ages as it rusts and all the edges blend to th eye.
Cheers Mick

Thanks Mick,
That's what I guessed.
I wish I could get up there to see it but I doubt we will have an opportunity in the near future. I see that Seaham Town Council are paying a £20,000 deposit to try to secure its future once the 3 months is up? There's a Just Giving page ( http://www.justgiving.com/Mission1101 ) where, as of tonight, they've raised over £40,000 of the £85,000 necessary to buy it outright.
Cheers.
Phil.
