During the years between 2014 and 2018 many centenary anniversaries were celebrated in local communities throughout the UK.
In many cases metal silhouette sculptures were erected either as a free standing panel or as a memorial bench.
The sculpture stands on a stone plinth and has a wooden plaque in front of it.
