The Time to Remember the Missing Soldier micro sculpture and the memorial clock is on display at The Birmingham Contemporary Art Gallery.

The micro sculpture was made from gold, kevlar, and painted using an eyelash, and then mounted onto the tip of First World War Lee Enfield 303 bullet. The bullet tip was then micro-engraved by Graham Short – At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we shall remember them. The tiny soldier micro sculpture was placed and mounted within a beautiful handmade globe clock made by Tom Powell of Osberg & Martin.

World War 1 Collaboration Poem

If I could change the winds of fate,

Each soldier would go home,

For it’s they who gave us freedom,

And a spirit free to roam.

Their dark sky would be golden,

Their battle at it’s end,

Returning to their loved ones,

Free to walk beside a friend.

Take the bullet from the gun,

And let the wars now cease,

Let the poppy be a symbol,

Let the whole world live in peace.

Let us change the winds of fate,

Each person say no more,

And take the bullet from the gun,

Find peace not hate and war.

By Trevor Wiggan.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
