Thanks Mick for posting the link.
It's an amazing sculpture and you really get a feeling of the pain and suffering many of the soldiers must have endured during the fighting and afterwards.
I wonder how the artist made the head? It doesn't appear to be made of welded pieces - maybe laminated?
My grandfather was in France in WW1. I never remember him talking about his experiences during the war - probably much too painful for him. He lost a son, my uncle Dennis, in WW2. He was a stoker in a minesweeper which struck a mine just by the harbour entrance to Mersa Matruh in the Med. I have the telegram my grandmother received informing her that he was "missing, presumed killed" - it always brings a lump to my throat when I think about him.
I noted from the article that the sculpture is only going to be on display in Seaham for 3 months. I do hope it will be going to a permanent home afterwards.
