Carved this hand in lime, a poppy being picked from the fields of Flanders not realising what the poppy would come to represent, the cascading petals represents fallen soldiers of all nations.
In memory of my great grandfather Frederick Stephens who served throughout WW1 and my great uncle Albert Payne who is still in France.

Amazing Steve and a wonderful way to remember those who fought and never returned home. For future generations you really should add a plaque remembering your dad and uncle.
I never thought of a plaque but that’s a good idea
 
Thanks for all your replies, I put this out on display each remembrance week at a local memorial hall where a local art group each year produce a new piece of art to remember the fallen of the two world wars, (names remembered via memorial plaques)

Steve I'm sure your community really appreciate your piece of wonderful art and the thought behind it and how it inspires others each year.
