Langemark was at the heart of battle in 1917 as the Welsh advanced through the village on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele. The dragon stands on what was once the frontline during the Great War and is positioned in such a way that it faces in the direction of Passcnendaele.
The memorial is the result of four years of campaigning and the majority of the funding came from generous public support and donations.
It is a great honour to have been part of this journey and to say that my design stands on the top of such an important monument is humbling.

A proud moment for me standing next to the completed dragon for the first time at the foundry, shortly before the installation day.
