Pte. Richard Riley
British Army 11th Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire
(d.22nd Jul 1917)
I've adopted this soldier by the project in Belgium "Coming World Remember Me". An art installation in Zillebeke near Ypres. 600,000 little statues were made by people. The statues represent the 600,000 casualties (dead and/or missing) on Belgian ground. Soldiers as well as civilians. Richard Riley is remembered with honour on the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres.
