G. Rising British Sculptor: Charles Sargeant Jagger,Studio International,Vol. 54 (Nov. 1914-Feb.1915): pp. 84-99 (illustrated) p.99 captioned 'Design for a Shield by C.S. Jagger'Note:Jagger probably secured this commission through the sculptor W. Goscombe John and chose a Celtic style for the commission because it 'is suitable for any object definitely of Welsh interest and secondly because the Celtic is essentially a "religious art".’ The father and mother mourning their child represents love triumphing over pain. The full-scale model was sent to Wurttemburg, Germany, to be cast in silver. In October 1914 Jagger resigned from the commission because, having enlisted, he felt he could not complete the work. The model sent to Germany is presumed lost, but a bronze cast was listed in the studio inventory at Jagger's death.
