Bulford Kiwi
Earlier this year we received a unique digitisation request. The grid layout of a chalk Kiwi commonly known as the Bulford Kiwi carved by New Zealand troops on Bulford Hill near Stonehenge. The carving has recently become a “scheduled monument” on the advice of Historic England as part of the centenary of World War I. The 130 metre tall Kiwi was carved by New Zealand troops stationed at Sling Camp in Bulford following the 1917 Battle of Messines in Belgium.
