Poem sent by Winston Plowes
TO THE
MEMORY OF
THE MEN
MEMORY OF
THE MEN
Lay down your frozen rifles, dampen your torches.
Let your shivers be spelt in stone.
Helliwell... Jackson... Lord...
These sandstone blocks, each birthday wreathed in red –
Stacked rusting on some lonely slope.
Baldwin... Barker... Booth...
Guarded by the holly’s hand
of thorns enough for regimental son after son
to be jammed by chisel into rock.
Schofield... Southwell... Southwell...
The sun scours square pumiced shoulder tops
three steps closer to heaven.
And your final marching orders
hanging from a solitary brass hook.
Greenwood... Greenwood... Greenwood...
***
They laid their richest gift on the altar of sacrifice.

Unknown British Soldier
Simple but very real, I found this cross more emotive than some of the stone memorials

Thanks to Helen and everyone for their ideas
The children there are making poppy flower heads from red crepe paper and poppy seed middles. A great idea.
Why not have a go.

WELCOME TO THE POPPY DRIFT BLOG 2011
hi
I am an artist creating a drift of old Remembrance poppies through Holy Trinity Parish Church in Hull during November 2011.
I am trying to spread the word to collect as many as possible,
single poppies or wreaths, one or a thousand, all will be welcomed.
Please can you help!
