This is the handcrafted project of HMY Britannia, created to educationally display the history of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The model is made from some sustainable materials.
We launched a Commonwealth project to bring members together online and discuss Queen Elizabeth II's legacy on all member countries and among admirers from other nations; it is currently paused.
Commemorative Medals The medals I use are honorary and memorial. They are handmade and hand-modeled by me to mark specific dates like the Queen’s Jubilees, King Charles’s Coronation, and the memory of WWII veterans. They serve as a visual tribute and affirm my commitment as an Ally.
HMY Britannia Project my detailed model of the HMY Britannia handmade by me,links directly to the Monarchy’s continuous service. This construction is an exercise in historical dedication, reflecting the seriousness with which I honor the Crown's legacy and duty.
Ceremonial Attire My attire is used strictly as a symbol of reverence and historical dedication. Some uniforms were sewn by me to reinforce this unique and personal, dedicated connection to the historical purpose. The clothing symbolizes the discipline, duty, and honor of the WWII Generation.
Jay Hawkins/Lee-Enfield Rifle Project
The core of the project is a historical rifle, the Lee Enfield. This weapon, which was the standard for the British Armed Forces and the Commonwealth during WWII, has been transformed into an itinerant memorial. The rifle travels across the UK to be signed by war veterans, turning an object of conflict into a sacred, living record of service and honor.

The project is not just about collecting signatures; it is dedicated to preserving voices. Many untold stories of WWII heroes and heroines, which would otherwise be lost, are recorded and publicly shared by the project. This work is crucial for demonstrating to the new generation that service involved ordinary men and women with extraordinary narratives, from the front line to the domestic effort.

The project transcends the physical artifact. It is a powerful educational tool that teaches new generations the deep meaning of sacrifice, camaraderie, and duty. By honoring the past, the project instills the values of dignity and respect in the young, ensuring that the history of the WWII Generation not only remains relevant but inspires moral and civic conduct in the present.
