The opportunity to design and decorate a wolf for Wolverhampton Civic and Historical Society as part of their World War One Centenary Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) project has been a great experience for me.

The wolf draws together a number of different elements: WW1 Roll of Honour - the names soldiers killed from the Wolverhampton area, poppies, Kipling, his poem, Wolverhampton's connection to the war. The Wolf is called The Fallen, it gives context and expression to the lost and grief of war.
