Today is the centenary of the Battle of Mons: http://ppaanderson.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/the-war-illustrated-the-mons-issue-12-september-1914/

On a baroque shelf a plain vase contained votive flowers.
The artificial red poppies flowed upwards like a flame.
Even after a century the cold sacrifice burns.
