Sacrifice

Sacrifice

Sacrifice is a public art tribute to the fourteen men from Belper who died on the first day of the Somme.

Sacrifice was created to be an integral part of a production “The Fourteen”. The individually cut black spears were built up through the performance, revealing the face of Lance Corporal Jim Green, one of the fourteen.

As a war memorial, Sacrifice can be seen in the Belper Memorial Gardens and represents the 100 year commemorations of all soldiers from Belper who died in WW1.
