Subdeacon Joe Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The cost https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gallery/pictures-ghost-soldiers-guarding-graves-2204437 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-46155057 "Ghostlike" sculptures of soldiers who died in World War One have been erected next to their graves in a village cemetery. The life-size figures of 11 men have been placed in Slimbridge (population in 2011 was only 1136) churchyard in Gloucestershire. Sculptor Jackie Lantelli created them out of chicken wire to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the war. Ms Lantelli said she had always been "passionate about remembering on Remembrance Day". "It's 100 years and I thought we ought to do something special," she said. "I make wire sculptures of fairies, and I had the idea that I could make some wire soldiers that look ghostlike with a very thin layer of chicken wire." She said the sculptures represent the 11 fallen soldiers from the village and have been placed at the foot of the men's graves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
