The Grave of the Unknown Navvy
The humanist philosopher Paul Ricoeur wrote that, to be forgotten, and written out of History, is to die again. Here at this anonymous labourer’s final resting-place, and on the one hundredth anniversary of his death, we the undersigned declare this the place where all those nameless men who lost their lives on Britain’s building sites and civil engineering works may henceforth be
remembered always.
Stretches the future before them
Clouded and bleak as their past
These are our Serfs – and our Brothers
Slighted, forsaken, outcast
Songs of the Dead End, Patrick MacGill, 1914
