Canada Oh!

50th Anniversary of the National Flag of Canada

Remembrance: 'Blood Swept lands and seas of red, where angels fear to tread.'

Paul Cummins. "For this latest project, with Historic Royal Palaces, Paul was inspired by a line in the will of a Derbyshire man who joined up in the earliest days of the war and died in Flanders. Knowing that everyone was dead and he was surrounded by blood, the man wrote: 'The Blood Swept lands and seas of red, where angels fear to tread.' 

From this line came the idea for 888,246 poppies to be made, one for each British or Colonial military fatality during the First World War."
