A volunteer dressed as a Tommy in Guildhall Square, Southampton, talking to a passerby
HOW moving it was to see those ‘Tommies’ kicking their heels listlessly in Guildhall Square to commemorate the centenary of the start of the Battle of the Somme.
Nothing said, but the air seemed thick with uncertainty and fear.
A very finely-staged tribute.
