Iraq War Memorial

A design for a permanent memorial to the 179 British service personnel killed in action during the Iraq conflict between 20^th March 2003 to July 28^th 2009.

The memorial design is based on a slab of solid limestone in the shape of the country of Iraq. The ‘western’ border of the slab is embedded into the ground, whilst the jagged ‘eastern’ border is exposed to the elements, representing the fragility of the country.

179 steel posts, providing strength and stability, support the entire slab.

A constant flow of water runs down across the slab, representing the course of the river Tigris, and creating a serene environment for contemplation and reflection.
