Of course they weren't. Its was a national theatre production and they were unpaid volunteers wanting to be involved. Don't belittle their contribution to the memorial by such an obvious and quite pointless comment.
They represent the normal people who fought in the Great War, it could be a shop keep, teacher or factory worker. The men that served were all just normal people from different walks of life, just like the people who volunteered to represent them here.
My grandfather (WW1 and 2) and father (WW2) would have been so proud of these men, as i am.
Good job boys much love from Australia
Well done all of you and all of that Great generation,.......
It is honorable to remember the horrors of the Battle of the Somme
Great video!
Somme shows us how critical the Generals are in distance...
Roll the bones...
Wonderful memorial but they aren’t soldiers
we know that...still raising awareness...
even thou, maybe some of them represented their ancestors who fought in that bloody battle of the Somme.
So? it's still nice regardless
