OBAN War and Peace Museum has had the honour this week of being one of a select number of venues around the UK to stage a visiting art installation from the In Flanders’ Fields Museum.
It is simple and elegant but shows so poignantly, and graphically, how many people from the British Isles died in Belgium alone during the First World War. As detailed in a feature in this month’s edition of The Oban Times’ sister publication West Coast Review, there is a massive book, and on each page is the name and regiment of every man and woman who died.
