Title:
‘Poppies’ Memorial
Location:
Sunniside, Co
Materials:
Green Elterwater Slate
Description:
This contemporary war
memorial was commissioned by a tiny village to be erected in a new
millennium garden. The 1.5 m tall vertical stone is carved with the
universally recognised symbol of poppies, swaying against a
setting sun, while the long horizontal stone is carved to
either side with an uncoiled strand of barbed wire and the evocative
last lines of Laurence Binyon’s poem, “For the Fallen”.
