Paul Cummins | Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red
The Tower Of London has marked the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War with a striking art installation. Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red by Paul Cummins features thousands of ceramic poppies pouring out of the tower flowing into the moat and will officially be unveiled on August 5. The final poppy will be planted on November 11. There will be a total of 888,246 poppies planted, with each flower representing a British military fatality from WWI.
Each flower represents one British OR COMMONWEALTH military fatality.
Please do not leave that out the Commonwealth soldiers. They get left out enough and it is a great thing that Paul Cummins went to this effort to remember and remind the UK and the world.
Very important. Thank you for catching that.
