Taken from the lovely picture titled 'The Last General Absolution of the Munsters at Rue du Bois' by Fortunino Matania depicting the regiment on the eve of the Battle of Aubers Ridge in May 1915.  This is an 8" scale sculpture of Father Francis Gleeson in the Bronze finish which was asked of us by the Catholic Section of the Royal Army Chaplains' Department.

In an effort to be more sustainable we've had our outer packaging redesigned to be fully recyclable. Every statue comes in a simple elegant printed brown box with printed fabric tape.

Inside the box the statue will be protected with bubble wrap and special foam bags to minimise the chance of damage in transit.
