Not the Poppy
Not the Poppy - oil on canvas with collage 80 x 30 cm
POA
A poem, 'No, Not the Poppy' by Dennis Griffiths, a former POW, was the inspiration for this painting. 'No, not the poppy but the pale orchid blooms in the dark of this remembrance'. The collage is part of a record of all the British servicemen who were Japanese prisoners of war from the National Archives.
