National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffs, UK

This is one of the two dramatic statues that is in the main area of the central memorial to those who have died in the armed forces.

There is a deep slit in the wall here, through which a shaft of sunlight will pass at the eleventh hour of the eleventh month, as we remember......

Unseasonably glorious summer style weather, with autumnal colours made this a wonderful day out with a friend who has come to stay for a couple of days.
