Elsenhams Tommy There but not There
Donation protected
Following the 2014 ceramic poppies at the Tower of London, which represented the 888,246 British and Commonwealth Service men and women who lost their lives in the First World War. There But Not There, a national commemoration project will see the thought provoking 6ft tall Tommy sculptures feature at events across the country marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the conflict.
There but not There project aims to ‘educate’ today’s younger generation, and ‘heal’ today’s veterans who are suffering from mental health and physical wounds, by raising substantial funds through the sale of ‘Tommies’.
Elsenham Parish Council are passionate about this project and are raising funds to purchase a 6ft Tommy that is to be installed at our memorial garden, for our Armistice Service, which is to be held at the Memorial Garden on the 10th November at 11am.
We would be incredibly grateful for your help to enable us to reach our target so we have have one of these breathtaking statues in our village.
Thank you
