Masteretch - Chemical etching machine installations from around the world

The Ring of Remembrance - France

Fri, 09 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Location: Northern France
Equipment: Wide Format Custom Etch Line

Masteretch designed and built a one off custom etching machine for the project to accommodate the size and weight of the 10ft bronzed stainless steel panels that make up the memorial. We helped source the material for the project and assisted customer by researching and implementing a direct print resist process.

The memorial honors the 576,606 soldiers of forty different nationalities who died at Nord-Pas-de-Calais. It consists of 500 metal panels that are arranged in an ellipse pattern, each 3 meters (almost 10 ft) in height. Each panel contains approximately 1200 names of fallen soldiers, listed alphabetically by last name. The 500th panel remains blank so that any newly discovered names may be inscribed. The most noteworthy aspect of the Ring of Remembrance is that it is the first memorial to list alphabetically, with no regard to rank nor nationality.
