An appeal has been launched for the return of a silhouetted soldier in Burntwood after it went missing just days after being installed.

The figure was [one of four put up by Burntwood Town Council](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/silhouettes-of-soldiers-places-around-burntwood-ahead-of-remembrance-weekend/) ahead of Remembrance weekend.

The installations are based on a World War One soldier and were due to be taken down after Remembrance Sunday for use in future years.

But one of them went missing from a site at Ironstone Road yesterday (8th November), with searches so far failing to locate it.

Cllr Darren Ennis, leader of Burntwood Town Council said:

> “We are disappointed that the Tommy statue has gone missing.  
>  
> “It was placed there as part of our respectful Remembrance of those who have suffered and given their lives in wartime.  
>  
> “I can only hope that somehow this Tommy can find its way back to us.”
