My Grandfather fibbed about his age and joined up at just 14 years old. He was 18 when the war ended, he is pictured here with the Belgium family who looked out for him.
I made paper poppies, and my sister crocheted poppies, so we could decorate our porch. To say thank you to all those who fought for our country and those who continue to do so.

This is a great make, Jannet, very apt illustration and beautifully coloured. I love the atmospheric wet-on-wet sky and poppies as well as that little bit of 3D texture under your focal image.
