To mark the centenary of the World War One armistice, Warwick District Council has participated in The Royal British Legion’s ‘Silent Silhouette’ movement by donating three of the ‘Tommy’ silhouettes to Warwick Town Council, Whitnash Town Council and Kenilworth Town Council.

The silhouettes are part of a wider celebration of remembrance to mark the centenary of the end of World War One, paying tribute and saying thank you to the First World War generation that served, sacrificed, rebuilt and changed the nation.

The silhouettes will be on display at the War Memorial in Kenilworth (at the top of Abbey Fields), The Court House, Jury Street, Warwick and outside St. Margaret’s Church in Whitnash.

Royal Leamington Spa Town Council were also gifted a silhouette by the local branch of the Royal British Legion.

Councillor Stephen Cross, Chairman of Warwick District Council said: “These silhouettes are just one of the many ways in which Warwick district remembers those that served and sacrificed their lives during World War One. At the base of the silhouette are the words ‘Lest we Forget’, a reminder that we must always remember and give thanks to those that served and changed our lives.”
