LAURENCE BINYON (1869-1943), FOR THE FALLEN (EXCERPT)
It is perhaps the most renowned line of poetry ever written.
Combining imagery evoked by For the Fallen with a floral motif
from a postcard that Private Charles Smith (60th Battalion, KIA 8
August 1918) sent home to his wife, the floral sun on this silk scarf
pays homage to Laurence Binyon’s poem and a card sent home by
one who fell.
During the First World War, Anzacs stationed in France would buy
postcards featuring silk embroidery to send home to their loved ones.
The embroidered blossoms featured in this design come from a
postcard in the Anzac Memorial Collection.
