Mark Humphrey said: “I wanted to create a low cost, easy to install commemoration sculpture that brings home to the public the great sacrifices that were made 100 years ago.
“The sculpture will inspire the community to mark the centenary of World War One.
“It will create a space for the public to reflect and remember those solders who lost there lives not just then but as a result more recent conflict”
