| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by sculptor Michael Sandle, presents a powerful and sombre commemorative scene evoking the Western Front of the First World War. In the foreground, a soldier rendered in high relief stands prominently, clad in full military cape, steel helmet, and shouldering a rifle, his silhouette dominating the composition. Behind him, a column of troops advances through the devastation of no man's land, their forms emerging from a landscape of desolation and trenches in a deeply sculpted, low-relief panorama. The dates of the conflict appear to the right of the design in incuse numerals, serving as a stark and solemn memorial inscription. The overall artistic treatment reflects Sandle's expressionistic sculptural style, lending the design exceptional dramatic intensity appropriate to the centenary commemoration. |
