flanders poppy picked from my garden



thinking of

 my paternal grandfather whom i never met who served as a chemist in the field ambulance corps on the western front in france during world war 1..during the war he developed depression and he committed suicide when my father was three months old 


remembering 

my father who, during world war 2, piloted four of the six survivors of the sandakan march in borneo to safety


grateful for

the sacrifices made by the forces
