Auckland artist Helen Pollock memorialised WWl and her own "wonderful" father's history, in sculptures that reside at the Royal New Zealand Navy Museum in Devonport and the NZ War Memorial in Belgium. Her work Falls the Shadow comprises a grove of outstretched arms moulded from a mix of Kiwi clay and earth from Passchendaele, symbolising young soldiers mown down by gunfire. As this documentary reveals, her steel and clay work Victory Medal followed the footsteps of the New Zealand Division's French march and is on permanent exhibition in Le Quesnoy, the town Kiwi soldiers liberated in 1918.
