Commissioned by Anthony Bird.

From the Cotswolds information website: ‘Located at The Maybird Centre out of town shopping area (Birmingham Street) opened in 1990 by the Bird Group who developed the site. It was built on the site of the original scrap metal yard of Tom Bird, who, although illiterate, founded the company that is today a multi million pound, multi-national business, based on metal recycling but with interests in many different fields including property development. The sculpture seems to acknowledge the debt both Henry V and The Bird Group owe to military hardware. It cost £40,000 and was unveiled by Tim Pigott-Smith as part of the official opening of the shopping centre.’
