Nope.

Especially when the wind, snow or rain we usually have at that time of year blows them over or out.

This year, they were buried in snow.

Maybe a *third* of them were actually lit.

Pitiful.

Even worse, they won’t allow a statue of Marse Robert on the battlefield, proper, because it’s “insensitive”.

A generous guy used land he owns inside the battlefield boundaries, and with his own money, built this:

A mere photo does not do it justice.

It’s *huge* and standing beside it, looking at all the amazing detail and craftmanship is an incredibly emotional experience.
