Well !

Not what I was thinking of as a memorial ....
but, wherever the remains of the trenches used by men who fought and died are, they most certainly are a memorial....I welcome your post and thank you.

I am hoping to gather still more statues together that could inspire modellers

A message from Mark in Australia.
"G'day Paul, I saw your post linking your war memorial thread of PF, but unfortunately I can't post there at the moment.
I wanted to share some pics of the Shrine of Remembrance in Hyde Park Sydney.
So here are some pics.....the sculpted figure lying upon the shield supported by mothers and wives is brilliant.
and hello to my friends there.


Thank you Mark


Paul.

In light of the anniversay of D-Day yesterday I wanted to post some pics of my visit 2 years ago.

I hope this reflects our sentiment for those who fell on the day of days.

Here is another monument in my town. ... The most photographed monument by tourists ...A piece of my story
Represents shepherd Enrico Arnaud to guide the nearly one thousand Waldensian faithful returning from Switzerland to their lands

I would like to write the story, but as you know I have difficulty with the English. I refer you to the pages of Wikipedia even though I'm not very thorough ... however you can understand the story a bit.

At the statue belt you can see the Bible

At the next monument ...
