There but not there...
The seated silhouettes in the church and in the memorial garden of St James Church in Sewards End are a commemorative installation to the fallen of the First World War who were linked to Sewards End, as part of a project called “There But Not There”
The aims of the project are simple:
-
To Commemorate the Fallen; highlighting the sacrifices made by so many through silhouette installations around the country.
-
To Educate all generations, particularly today’s younger generation, to understand what led to the deaths of 888,246 people from Britain and The Commonwealth.
-
To help Heal those suffering from the hidden wounds of post-traumatic stress disorder and other lasting legacies of combat, by raising funds for the beneficiary charities.
