Victory medal

documentary heritage
  • Kupu whakaahua

    "'Victory Medal' honours our forebears who fought in the First World War; those who died and those who returned with their lives blighted and shortened by the experience of war. 'Victory Medal' acknowledges all of our heroes.

    Thirty six pairs of feet, the number of a small platoon, stand on a rusted steel 'medal' in four sections, creating a cross formation. The feet are moulded from rough unprocessed New Zealand clay into a 'cohesive fighting unit'. They are torn, distressed and fired under intense heat over a period of three days, and permanently altered and hardened. They are sinewed foot-sloggers' 'feet'.

    One pair of feet is cast in bronze- a 'recognised hero'."--Helen Pollock, WW100.govt.nz website (accessed 21/1/2015)
