Recently two of the Royal British Legion's "Silent Soldiers" have been placed to the left and right of the memorial. The Silent Soldiers are near life-size silhouettes of a First World War "Tommy" cut from black dibond, which is both tough and weatherproof. The Legion's campaign was launched in 2017 in support of the Poppy Appeal to remember the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces during World War I. As the soldiers appear very small in this view, a close-up can be seen here:- Image, and more details of the Memorial here:- Image
