17 silhouettes have been placed in the pews at St Luke’s Church to remember those in Jersey who died in the First World War.
They represent some of the men who went to the church more than 100 years ago.
St Luke’s is joining other churches, towns, villages and cities across the British Isles in ‘There But No There – A Nationwide Installation for the Fallen’.
Father Nick Barry from St Luke’s says it will be really thought-provoking for people.
“What I hope is that we’ll get lots of people coming to have a look, sit down and just reflect on what those losses meant.
“They were real people who used to be really here, who went away and who left their lives and their families devastated when the didn’t return.”
Engraved blocks with the ranks and names of those who died will be placed throughout the church along with a 6′ high silhouette of a British ‘Tommy’.
The names of the Departed are being read aloud in masses today (2nd November). The installation is open from 9am tomorrow (3rd November).
There But Not There will run for two weeks, either side of a Remembrance Sunday.
There will also be a Remembrance Service for St Luke‘s School on 9th November.
