LONDON —

Oscar-winning film director Danny Boyle has called on Britons to mark the upcoming centenary since the end of World War One by sketching out sand silhouettes on UK beaches in memory of the millions of people who lost their lives in the conflict.

The “Pages of the Sea» project will see artists etch out large portraits of people killed in the 1914-18 conflict during low tide on Armistice Day on Nov. 11 at various beaches around the country.

Members of the public will also have a chance to create silhouettes of people as a tribute to those who died in what is known as the “Great War».

They will then wait for the tide to come in and wash away the imprints. — Reuters
