Steven Broomfield Posted 26 July , 2018 Share Posted 26 July , 2018 Well, let's hope the finished article look a little more tasteful than the artist's impression. I'm vaguely hoping the artist did the picture as part of his/her art project in Year 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 26 July , 2018 Share Posted 26 July , 2018 From the experiences of family, older friends and neighbours, who passed through Catterick Camp, it is hard to imagine that any memorial can be other than a large number of stones all perfectly whitewashed.
