First World War Silent Soldier Tribute
To mark the centenary of the First World War, The Royal British Legion has invited the public to take part in a movement to say 'Thank You' to the First World War generation who served, sacrificed, rebuilt and changed the nation.
In support of this, eight near life-size Silent Soldier silhouettes are being unveiled at locations across the Fareham Borough, each with a significant connection to the First World War.
The silhouettes are a representation of 'Tommy' returning home silently at the end of the war. A new silhouette will be unveiled each week, and will remain until the end of next year.
Where are the Silent Soldiers?
- WW1 and WW2 cross of remembrance at St Paul's Church in Sarisbury Green
- Warsash War Memorial at Victory Hall, Warsash Road
- Titchfield Memorial Stone, Titchfield Parish Rooms
- Fareham Train Station
- Stubbington Green War Memorial
- Holy Trinity Church
- Portchester Memorial Column
We are asking members of the public to post their photos of the Silent Soldier silhouettes on our Facebook and Twitter
page as and when they spot them around the Borough.
