Notes | Red ceramic poppy in memory of NZ40932 Sergeant James Clark Cattell, Observer, Royal New Zealand Air Force, 214 Squadron, RAF, WW2 The major art installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London, marked hundred years since Britain’s entry into the First World War. 888,246 ceramic poppies were progressively added to the Tower's moat between 17 July and 11 November 2014. Each poppy represented a British or Colonial military fatality during the war. The poppies were sold to the public to raise money for Armed Forces charities, all purchased by mid-October 2014. Wellingtonian Sergeant James Clark Cattell was killed in action on 8-9 April 1941, at the age of 21. The Wellington Bomber T2542 on which Cattell was observer was lost over Melsdorf, Germany while on a night raid on Kiel, Germany. Because of its status as a naval port and as production site for submarines, Kiel was heavily bombed by the Allies. Cattell is buried in Kiel War Cemetery in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
