Story
This Remembrance Day, Walking With The Wounded is proud to be be supported by CB Iron through George, who you'll find in Craster, Northumberland.
Similar in stature to his Grandad, who served in the Armed Forces, Chris created George. It's a personal and universally symbolic, representation of every soldier who gave their all for future generations.
Crafted from Corten steel, the same enduring material used to create the Angel of the North, George is rooted in the heritage of the North East of England.
Over time, his weathered surface will change, reflecting both the passage of years and the lasting nature of remembrance. Through his unique design, George vanishes when viewed from certain angles, only to reappear as you continue walking.
This fleeting presence mirrors the way those who served are gone from sight, yet never forgotten, always returning to our thoughts and our hearts. George is placed here so that we all may pause, reflect, and understand the true cost of peace.
He is not only a memorial to the fallen, but also a call to remember the values they fought for: duty, courage, and unity and this Remembrance, will be supporting Walking With The Wounded and those who served.
