Since
August, the Tower of London moat has been filled with 888,246 ceramic poppies,
each representing a service member from Great Britain or its empire who was
killed in World War I, the Great War, that ended on November 11, 1918. The
poppies are due to be dismantled beginning on November 12 and distributed to
people who have bought them for donations to military charities. I heard about
the display from authors Charles and Caroline Todd and my co-worker Katherine
Wells, who saw the installation and were very moved by it. Parts will be
preserved in the Imperial War Museum.
