NOTES: This design was for a student project for the Ecole Special d'Architecture, Paris and this drawing is one of several which appear to have been drawn to explain the concept of the memorial at a later date. The Monument was to have been set in a park landscaped so as to resemble the battlefield & studded with cross grave markers. The cylinder, reminiscent of the barrel of a cannon, was to have held a red liquid, symbolic of the blood of the slain, which was to have debouched from the mouth of the cylinder onto the ground below.
