This Blue Poppy was made in Remembrance of all repatriated injured veterans who wore blue hospital uniforms. It is especially poignant as it is a similar colour to the Grimsby Chums dress uniforms who fought & died at @laGrandeMine @LochnagarCrater #LestWeForget

The 100 damaged poppies I collected from Lochnagar Crater and the prints I made are currently on display at Oaten Hill Gallery, Canterbury. The prints are on sale at £25 each-proceeds going to @LochnagarCrater fundraising campaign dawncole.co.uk/portfolio/100-…
