THERE BUT NOT THERE PERSPEX TOMMY FIGURES, by Ruggs on Feb 28, 2018 14:38:27 GMT 1, Not sure whether this is appropriate but just thought it would be of interest to some.
'There But Not There' have produced some beautifully poignant products marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
This is taken from their website:
The installation of 51 transparent seated military figures in the Penshurst Church over Remembrance 2016 lit a touch paper in the psyche of all who saw it.
Given that widespread resonance, There But Not There aims to place a representative figure for as many as possible of the names on local war memorials, around the country, into their place of worship, their school, their workplace or wherever their absence was keenly felt. These transparent silhouettes will be back within their communities for Remembrance 2018, the centenary commemoration of the end of the 1914-1918 First World War.
There But Not There will be the defining centenary commemoration of the end of the 1914-1918 war, installed where the men and women came from across the country, back in the communities they left behind.
This project aims to Commemorate, Educate and Heal โ the three aims of our charity. The project itself is the commemoration and there will be a comprehensive school education programme designed to bring to life and create an understanding and respect for the reasons why so many lost their lives during this time. Funds raised from the sale of our Tommies will contribute directly to the work carried out by our beneficiary charities below. The Tommies and their commemorative packaging are made by the Royal British Legion Industries, appropriately, by ex-Service Veterans employed by RBLI.
The Royal Foundation: Heads Together, Walking With The Wounded, Combat Stress, Help for Heroes, Project Equinox: Housing Veterans and Medical Students Commonwealth War Graves Foundation will all benefit by either making a donation or buying one or some of their products.
They have name blocks, silhouettes for chairs and benches and two types of 'Tommy' figures.
Take some time out to look at their website.

"Seven WW1 Tommies appear alongside players at Hearts FC in Edinburgh - one for every first team player who died."
