The fact that it's made out of mud and sand is so meaningful when you think of how soldiers fought in the muddy trenches and battlefields of that war, and how fleeting and fragile human life and our time on earth is.

I have visited the Ypres Salient several times; it is humbling and moving and - oh, so many things. Knowing about it's one thing; understanding is quite another. Passchendaele itself has been completely rebuilt. It was eventually taken by the Canadians and, I believe, lost in the German offensive the following March, before being retaken again...Mike@Bit About Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741370413282813229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759507296620179428.post-28198276999613292992017-08-01T00:21:24.154+01:002017-08-01T00:21:24.154+01:00What a perfect idea for a memorial statue for thos...What a perfect idea for a memorial statue for those soldiers.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826369816985788575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759507296620179428.post-80538187730129317642017-08-01T00:01:43.779+01:002017-08-01T00:01:43.779+01:00What a poignant statue.

I think it is even more poignant that its face is starting to slide off, as if he were deteriorating for real in the mud in Flanders.
