One of the Royal British Legion's "Silent Soldiers" placed by a flowerbed in Wycombe Way, near its junction with Brize Norton Road. It has been sponsored by Carterton Town Council. 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. A closer view:- Image
