41st Division Memorial Miniature?

[spconnolly007]

Hi All, not sure if this is the correct area for topic, but are any of you aware of, or come across a miniature bronze replica of said statue? I have a project in mind to make a copy using oak for the main structure and top it off with a miniature(bronze preferably)statue. There is a small replice on show in the museum at Peronne, so I would imagine there have been commisions to copy it, but ive been looking around and as yet found nothing. photo included to jog any memories, thanks for any help, regards Sean

I believe that the original or at least an identical statue can be found in High Holborn, London as a memorial to the Royal Fusiliers.

Thanks for your reply High Wood, but what I meant was, is anyone aware of a miniature replica(soldier approx. 6/8" high)that can be purchased as I would like to try and reproduce the entire monument as a small display, regards Sean

I knew what you meant but I thought that pointing you in the right direction might lead you to contacting the Royal Fusiliers regimental museum as that regiment probably commissioned the original statue. The museum might even sell minature versions.

I thought so too until quite recently, but if you compare photos of the two, they are similar but not quite the same. Both great figures though. Add: Clearly by the same sculptor and both, unusually for later in the war, have the early unmodified LH pouches.
