About this picture …

At Seaham in County Durham stands a steel sculpture of a common soldier from the Great War (1914-1918). Entitled simply ‘1101’, it was installed in May 2014 as a three-month display, but has since become permanent. “A war-weary Tommy sits thoughtfully,’ a description reads, “head bowed, rifle in hand, as he reflects upon the sheer horror of World War One during the first minute after peace was declared in 1918.” On the ‘Prussianism’ from which Tommy and his fellow soldiers saved us, see Home Page, by John Buchan.
