IN FLANDERS FIELDS THE POPPIES BLOW
BETWEEN THE CROSSES, ROW ON ROW,
THAT MARK OUR PLACE; AND IN THE SKY
THE LARKS, STILL BRAVELY SINGING, FLY
SCARCE HEARD AMID THE GUNS BELOW

Description:
This moving design depicts a gravestone in a field of poppies with the first verse of In Flanders Fields written across it and the date 1918-2018. The design includes a helmet and boots, two vivid red poppies, representing remembrance and fallen soldiers, four larks flying in the background, symbolising the peace. In the left field, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark appears and the designer's initials (LB) are also incorporated into the design below left.
The poem In Flanders Fields was written by the Canadian poet, physician and soldier, Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae (1872 - 1918) in May 1915. It was first published by Punch magazine in Britain in December 1915 and it had become an enduring tribute to the sacrifices made by those fighting in the First World War.
