Progress on Western Front Way:
Alexander Douglas Gillespie's inspired vision
War Cloister Angel Gate
The bronze guardian angels on War Cloister gates were
created by Arthur Morgan (Director of Art School,
80–04) in 1998 to replace the originals which had
been stolen sometime in the 1960s. For
reasons he cannot recall, he did not take a
cast for himself at the time and then it was
discovered his moulds had been lost by the
foundry. By courtesy of Win Coll he has
very recently had new moulds made so that
he can at last have an angel of his own. Casts
can now be made to order at £3,250, with 20%
going towards War Cloister. OWs interested
should contact Arthur Morgan direct:

By the end of May all the WFW route in Belgium mapped
and signs on the ground will follow shortly. Mapping
the Northern France section - probably North of Albert
- should be completed in the same period or swiftly
thereafter. Exactly how these maps will be published -
both digitally and on paper - is still to be finalised but info
will be on the website: www.thewesternfrontway.com. So,
if you're looking to take a stroll this summer, Flanders
awaits!
The rest of the route, all the way from Switzerland, should
be mapped by the end of the year.
