The illustration is of a commerative
tablet at the Australian War Memorial. The red poppies
were spontaneously placed beside the names on the tablet.
The original intention in selling the poppies was that
they would be worn by the visitors to the Memorial or
placed on the tomb of the unknown soldier. However as a
spontaneous gesture they were placed beside the names of
relatives. See Flowers and gargoyles for further explanantion. |
