we'll all be stopping to silently think about the enormous sacrifices our forefathers made for us.
Sculptor Jackie Lantelli has created a stunning tribute to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the war, by putting wire soldiers beside graves to look like their ghosts.
The sculptures represent the 11 fallen soldiers from the village in Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, and have been placed at the foot of the men's actual graves as a stark reminder of the war's human impact.
Photographer Nikki Phillips posted her pictures of the art on Facebook, where it's since gone viral - and thousands of people have commented to say how moved they are.

edit - Just read on a page on FB earlier that if all those who died in WW1 and WW2 were to parade 4 abreast past the cenotaph in London, the start of the parade would be in London and the back would be in Newcastle.
That is just so difficult to comprehend...
