Poppy Wall Commemoration 2, Brunel Centre, Swindon, Wiltshire



To mark the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War this Commemoration Wall, a wall in the Brunel Centre was decorated with poppies and poems and all were invited to write messages on the wall.  Also on display was an artwork by Jac Wrightam called '100 Years - Never Forget'.  Below are photographs we took of the wall followed by some of the messages.

There was a similar wall in 2014 to commemorate the start of the war - see photographs at:  Poppy Commemoration Wall.
