A crowdfunding appeal has been launched to commemorate the troops who died in the Battle of the Somme and were never recovered. It's hoped £150,000 can be raised to help an artist hand-stitch a shrouded figure to remember every one of the 72,000 men. In order to complete the installation in time to mark the Armistice Day centenary next year, Rob Heard is having to produce around 300 shrouds per day, which takes 15 hours.
