Every Man Remembered

This is the Every Man Remembered statue in Trafalgar Square by artist Mark Humphrey. It is another stunning memorial to the fallen. This is what Mark Humphrey comments about the statue in his own words, "The Centenary Soldier stands proud, shoulders back and head up. Full of hope, promise and strength within the Every Man Remembered obelisk. He is made from brass (representing my great grandfather's self-decorated bombshell case, which he engraved in the Somme trenches). His eyes are closed, depicting internal remembrance; remembering every man and every woman who fell during the First World War.

"The soldier stands in a field of poppies, the poppies flutter up and softly fall, paying tribute to each and everyone for their sacrifices made. The Centenary Soldier is a symbol of reflection living on with pride, marking one hundred years since the war."
