'Shadow soldiers' are making an appearance

Friday, 23 October 2020 14:04

'Shadow soldiers' are back in Glossopdale as the countdown to Remembrance Day continues.

The almost life-size cut-outs are in Glossop's Norfolk Square and approaches to the town, including Sheffield Road. 

They were first seen a few years ago and now appear, thanks to Glossop branch of the Royal British Legion, in the run-up to November 11.

Remembrance Day may not be the same this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the soldiers are back to pay silent homage to those who gave their lives in two world wars and in other conflicts.
