Desert Rats’ Association Memorial at The National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire |

The concept was to produce a memorial that includes a sculpture of the Association’s insignia, a jerboa, that would represent the history and spirit of the Desert Rats. The intention is to celebrate and commemorate the lives of those who have served, fought and died.
