The red poppy

Poppies are often worn on Remembrance Day. The image below shows the 'Poppy Project Sculpture' in Gosford Memorial Park, which was installed in 2015 for the Centenary of Anzac commemorations. The park contains several war memorials, including the Gosford Cenotaph. Read more about Gosford Memorial Park on the NSW War Memorials Register.
