Comments:
The Memorial has been made from mild steel shaped shaped to form 4 petals in the form of a poppy. The petals are in filled with reclaimed horse & mule shoes, some of which were made for the ASC in WW1 but not issued. The petals are mounted on tubing standing 175 cm in height. the whole sculpture has not been treated to prevent ageing, this was part of the brief to let the sculpture change color with age.
