Ww1 Reminder On Isle Of Man

[DSJ]

Recently we were on our annual holiday to the Isle of Man. We saw a very striking reminder erected at the side of the road but unfortunately we were not in a safe position to stop to take a photo.

It was a large 1 0 0 marked out in red poppies (the sort you buy to wear in November) on a white background. I am trying to explain how it was done to members of the committee planning a WW1 exhibition in our village later in the year. I wonder if anyone can lead me to a link where there may be a photo?

Many thanks if you can help.

Thank you both. Dee-M-See, you are right about the location being on the road to Castletown. I will ring the number you suggest.

Stephen-G, i saw the remembrance garden with the giant poppy. It is beautifully done.
