Our Savage Yesterday
Portsmouth & Southsea, 2010.
The loneliness, isolation and exhaustion of a soldier returning home has been captured well by this sculptor. I resisted the temptation to subdue the tones of the base plinth: I think that its intrusiveness reflects the sense of aloneness.
"Decades of easy peace may go their way,
And Tide and Time may drift us far apart,
But you who shared our Savage Yesterday
Will hold the highest places in our heart."
