Default Shrouds of the Somme

Quote:
"Shrouds of the Somme was an artwork by British artist Rob Heard which commemorated the 72,396 servicemen from the British Commonwealth with no known grave, whose names are recorded at Thiepval Memorial as missing presumed dead at the Battle of the Somme."
Limited edition pin badges were available for a donation which funded the display at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from 8th - 18th November 2018 .

Athough I already have one with the accompanying booklet I snapped up these two as they are quite rare.
