Restoring the Liverpool Globes | Commonwealth War Graves Commission |

A ‘once-in-a-generation’ restoration project has been completed at Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Liverpool Naval Memorial, preserving the stories of 1,400 Merchant Navy men killed in the Second World War. Two half-tonne Portland stone globes were carefully recreated after decades of exposure to the elements caused damage to these unique features. Without blueprints the Commission’s stonemasons spent two weeks carefully tracing every millimetre of the intricate designs to hand-carve like for like replacements. Hear from one of those involved in this mammoth task. ________________________________________________________________ Get to know the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Find out more: http://www.cwgc.org/ Blog: http://blog.cwgc.org/ Facebook:   / commonwealthwargravescommission   Twitter:   / cwgc   Instagram:   / commonwealthwargraves
