A THOUGHT provoking installation is honouring soldiers in Broad Chalke who lost their lives during the First World War.

The silhouettes, designed by conceptual photographer and installation artist Martin Barraud, are part of the There But Not There campaign.

Eighteen silhouettes have been installed at All Saints Church representing the soldiers on the village's war memorial.

A display from the archives has also been put together to compliment the installation, which gives more information about the men. War poetry will also be on display.

Church warden Janet Roe, who has been helping with the display, said: "It is very touching, it does make you think. Very often what we don't think about is not just how young these men were but in those does they hadn't been anywhere. They had no idea what they were going to."

This year marks the centenary of the end of the First World War.

Mrs Roe added: "As a village, not just the church, we feel very privileged that we have got this because it brings it sharply into focus. It is very sobering and very lovely at the same time."

The There But Not There installation coincides with the Chalke Valley History Festival which starts next week.
