Notes ceramic poppy, Tower of London installation, 2014 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. Donor purchased two poppies, one in memory of her great-uncle who was crushed by a tank in France in WW2, and this additional poppy in memory of servicemen and women from New Zealand. The donor has a relationship with New Zealand through two people with whom she attended a rural primary school on the west coast of Scotland.
