Silent Soldiers.

[Tilly2]

Are there any in your area?

I have seen two this last week.

[Prudie]

Yes saw one on Friday but then I work at a garrison with a RBL club

[Baldric]

Am aware of them, never seen one.

New street station has had one for a while, wondered why it was there, funnily it was where the armed police were standing.

[Tilly2]

Well, that's understandable, Prudie. :-)

I have seen two separate ones, in two Bedfordshire villages. I had no idea what they were until I did a bit of research.

[Tilly2]

Is it still there Rowan?

Nothing to do with silent soldiers, but an example of the innumerable poignant "side-stories" that occurred during WW1, or any war for that matter: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-45310188

I have moved this thread into the category "People & Places".

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Spare Ed.

Hmmmm...I tend to think it would get lost here.
I saw this yesterday...but I wouldn't think to look here for it if I wanted to find it again.

[Tilly2]

I didn't even know there was a People and Places category but if Spare Ed thinks this post should go there then there's not a lot I can do. Well, I could kick up a fuss but I really cannot be bothered.

Spare Ed must be having a tidy up.

[Tilly2]

I can hear the sweeping brush. :-)

I saw the thread and readit, haven't seen any personally but found the idea moving.

[Tilly2]

More have appeared locally. They are a lovely tribute to our long dead heroes.

[marval]

I haven't seen any, a lovely idea though.

[tonyav]

I havn't seen one yet, I'd like to though.

[Mamyalynne]

There may well be some locally, it's just I don't go out much.
