In this artwork, how is the The event discussed?
Throughout the day, some 1,600 volunteers, all men, dressed in replica British army uniforms of World War I, appeared in groups at railway stations, shopping centres and other places. Each volunteer represented an individual, named, soldier who died on the first day of the battle. When approached, they did not speak, but instead handed cards to members of the public, bearing the name, age and regiment of the person they represented, and the hashtag #wearehere. Deller described these cards as "like small tombstones". From time to time, the volunteers would sing the recursive refrain "We're Here Because We're Here..." to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, as sung in the trenches before the battle.
