This bronze statue of the Fallen Soldier Battlefield Cross from World War I stands as a somber and respectful tribute to the soldiers who gave their lives during this brutal and transformative conflict. The statue features a rifle firmly planted into the ground by its bayonet, representing the soldier’s weapon left behind in the trenches or on the battlefield. Resting atop the rifle’s stock is a Brodie helmet, the iconic flat, round helmet used by many soldiers during World War I. The helmet, perched with a sense of finality, symbolizes the fallen soldier and their sacrifice. At the base of the rifle, a pair of trench boots, worn from the brutal conditions of trench warfare, are positioned together. These boots, detailed with realistic laces and scuffs, evoke the soldier’s presence and the harsh realities they faced. The statue is finished with a dark bronze patina that enhances the solemn and respectful tone of the piece. The dark hue evokes a sense of gravity and honor, suitable for a memorial piece. Over time, the patina will age gracefully, further enriching the statue’s historical significance.
We can create a custom bronze plaque inscribed with a dedication such as “Fallen but Not Forgotten” and the solider’s name, rank and unit along with significant dates for an additional charge.
