General Tommy, the world war 1 memorial statue!

Hey guys,

In today's vlog I travel north to a seaside town called Seaham and visit a statue I have passed but never fully understood.

Tommy sits on the shore of the Seaham town, being built in 2014 Tommy was not meant to be a permanent fixture! The local residents and businesses raised the money to buy him and keep him on the front not far from the War memorial.

Tommy sits on a time capsule which contains various items including a war medal!

Lest we forget!

is really cool that you took the time to find out what the statue was about. Some folk in the UK right now feel so unjustifiably entitled, they really need to wake up and understand what so many folk had to go through to protect their families, friends and loved ones.
