CARRY ON Remembering 100 years of Carrying On 1921–2021
As purveyors of fine militaria and accoutrements, Pemburys have created a stunning and incredibly detailed Desk Piece of the Fettes College War Memorial. A most iconic statue inspired by Birnie Rhind, unveiled in October 1921 in the College grounds one hundred years ago this year. The statue features Lieutenant Donald Mackintosh (Mo 1911–1913) of the Seaforth Highlanders who was killed in action 11 April 1917. He was a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces in the face of the enemy.
The Desk Piece is cast in one kilo of patinated bronze and measures 18 cm wide by 24 cm high. Carry On is set upon on a black lacquered plinth as a constant reminder of the values upheld by the College over its 150 years. A special edition of ten pieces will be cast in sterling silver and will feature the Edinburgh City Assay Mark with the date letter W for 2021.
