Soft ground etching, from a series of 10 etchings Arnold completed while completing an artist residency in Paris. The work was inspired by the artist's trip to the historic battlefields in Northern France in order to retrace the journey of his great grandfather who fought at the Western Front. The artist was walking near Le Hamel in France when he came across a ceremony to inaugurate a new memorial to Australian soldiers.
