Pegram studied and exhibited at the Royal Academy. He worked as an assistant for Thornycroft, and became a Royal Academician in 1904. He is mostly known for his group sculptures. He first presented a bronze of the present model Into the Silent Land in 1910 (op. cit. p. 294). The title is a reference to the poem by Christina Rossetti “Remember”.
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
