The humble puttee, made by Fox Bros & Co in Wellington, inspired this remembrance installation in the Morning Chapel at Salisbury Cathedral.
Textile artist Suzie Gutteridge, as the WWN reported last week, had the idea for the artwork after finding a pair of puttees belonging to her father.
The installation, made in a community project dubbed Binding the Past to the Present Through Remembrance, is about eight metres wide and four metres deep.
It incorporates 100 pairs of puttees hanging on wires – a pair for every year since the end of the First World War – and 4,700 felt poppies, both poignant symbols of the war.
