Dragon Posted 1 September , 2004 Share Posted 1 September , 2004 I’ve found this photograph in a box of family pictures. There is no identifying information on it at all. From the context of the other photos, and the source of the box, I think there’s a possibility that the memorial is either in Cheshire or North Wales, but I may be entirely wrong. The soldier on the central higher plinth is seated, legs parted, looking to his left, in uniform but no headwear, with a gun (?) hanging limply from his right hand. The small figures on the lower left panel echo Gassed by J Singer Sargent. They are all upright. This is a reduced and heavily compressed image of a much larger photo. I could provide magnified sections if necessary. If anyone is able to help me identify the memorial, I should be very appreciative. Thank you.

John_Hartley Posted 1 September , 2004 Share Posted 1 September , 2004 I'm sure he won't. I only know him through email (we link to each others website). Feel free to say I put you on to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
