The 6 metre tin scrap metal Haunting Soldier Sculpture on a temporary visit to Dublin in November 2018 to remember all from the Island of Ireland who served in World War 1, those who survived, the lives lost and those they were against.

The visit of the sculpture was organised, and on the initiative, of the administrator of the Island of Ireland's World War 1 veterans project in association with OPW - St. Stephen's Green Park. The visit was possible by the kind permission of the Somerset owner and writer Ms Jo Oliver.  The white flowers remember those who came home.   The red flowers remember the mentally and physically injured and the lives lost.

Our information page gives new details of a proposed permanent sculpture memorial to remember those from the Island of Ireland who served in World War 1.
