A poignant new art installation commemorating fallen soldiers and victims of war will go on display at Hampton Court Palace next month.

The specially commissioned work, created in partnership with Oxford-based project Standing with Giants, will be unveiled on November 3 and run throughout the month including on Armistice Day, 11 November.

100 silhouettes of soldiers and 75 screen-printed poppy wreaths and will be placed at the Palace's East Front gardens in a display of remembrance to all who lost their lives in the World Wars and modern conflicts.

The artwork also pays tribute to Hampton Court's unique role in the aftermath of the first world war, when soldiers from the Indian Army camped in Home Park on a visit to Britain to take part in the Peace Celebration and Victory Parade.

The camp numbered around 700 men and soldiers stayed in tents at the park, where they also dined and socialised, the National Army museum says.

The museum adds that there were separate slaughter houses and cook houses for Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus in the regiment, plus a store room for rations and equipment, three large wash houses and a field hospital of 24 beds.

According to Hampton Court Palace, the soldiers were also taken on tours of London and around Britain upon their arrival here.

A guide for the installation at the Palace's ticket office will contain more details on the experience of the Indian soldiers, plus information on the Grace and Favour residents who were connected to the palace during this time.

Visit the Hampton Court Palace Website for tickets and details of the new artwork.
