Let the children of today not be allowed to forget the sacrifices made by men and women in all wars :)

I thought I might get a chance to go there myself on Saturday when I was in London, but I ran out of time.

You have posted so many good photographs, I feel I have been there anyway!

I'd love to see this in a wide angle shot. It must be absolutely amazing to see all these markers at a glance. Sad, but amazing.

We shall not forget...

Hi Jams, I'm wondering how many of these star/poppies there were. It must have been a lot if no one was left out.
Happy WW! Thanks for your visit and nice comment.

What a powerful tribute. Great picture, Jams.

You were obviously very moved by this and how could you not be? I had forgotten that it was the 90th anniversary. It seems to have been the war which has affected us most of any. May we never forget.

It is an evocative image. Isn't it amazing to think that WWI was supposed to have been 'the war to end all wars' -- and here we are, warring still. Sad.

I hope there is no more War in this world. No more killing of one another.

We don't want any more memorials or remembrance day.

The scale of the slaughter is still impossible to imagine-yet too easily forgotten.
