When I visited Woolwich Cemetery I photographed this statue of a woman holding a torch. The torch is upside down which traditionally suggests that the flame of life has been distinguished. There was no engravings that I could see to show who she was in memory of, which made me all the more enthralled by her. The look on her face is not one of sadness, rather she looks peaceful and content, this is a look that is common on the faces of the angels so often seencemeteries, but she does not appear to be an angel.
