    Sorry but I just need to resurrect this old thread. The box has been returned to me to change the text and spruik it up a bit to go on display on the centenary of Sylvester’s death on 23rd August. The history of the man himself is slowly being discovered and I’m expecting a very moving day.....

    Thanks for reminding us of a very moving story. So many underlying issues: The futility of war, the "bulletproofness" of the adolescent male, the indecent haste with which leaders commit their subjects to war, but overall a most moving story.

    Thank you.

    Regards

    I don't know how I missed this build the first time round; but I'd like to echo everybody else's admiration for your artistic vision and the spectacular execution at every stage.

    Even the "incorrect" latch... is right. Re-using whatever materials were lying at hand to make whatever was needed at the time gave rise to trench art and I feel the latch fits the theme.

    Well done that man.

    Default The last post....... I promise!

    I drove up to Trangie for the gathering in memory of Sylvester Sullivan on the 100th anniversary of his death in action in WW1. It was a beautiful day with just a few, but very heartfelt, speeches.
    The local Men’s Shed had made a stand for the box out of (what appears to be) red gum and it sits in a corner with lots of displays relating to Sylvester and his family.

    The gentleman who photographed his grave in France, was given a memorial plaque by the local mayor to “thank the Australians who freed his village” and this plaque was donated to stand beside the box. Not a dry eye in the house.........

    Thanks to to all who came on this journey with me. After yesterday, the World seems a slightly better place.
