Trustees Steve Williams and Lindsay Hoyle with the model of the new statue
The full sized model is nearing completion at the artist’s studio in Preston.
The rifle has to be modelled and then the whole piece will be covered in wax and a mould made, ready to be sent to the Foundry in Essex by the start of August and the finished Bronze piece should be cast in November, being delivered to Chorley by Christmas.
The plan is to unveil the statue on the 23rd February 2010 – the 95th anniversary of when the Chorley Pals left the town to go to war.
