2016 Project366 (Day 182)
Whilst we were in France most of the corn fields had little shots of red drifting through them. It was so beautiful and eventually I stopped and took some photos of the poppies.
One hundred years ago tomorrow would see the commencement of the Battle of the Somme. The poppy helps us to remember all those who died in battle. On the first day of the Battle of the Somme it is estimated that there were nearly 60,000 casualties and 20,000 of these were fatalities. So many lives lost, so much wasted talent and so many families broken.
We will remember them.
