Unisex Poppy T Shirt that commemorates the Battlefield Cross, the
iconic symbol on the battlefield for a soldier who has been killed in action
(K.I.A.). The Battlefield Cross design, depicts an Angel
carrying a deceased soldier to heaven at the moment of his death, from a field
of poppies. In the forefront of the design is a Battle Cross wrapped in barbed
wire with the soldier's Brodie Helmet positioned on top. The design features a
revised interpretation of "Our Hitch in Hell" a ballad by
American poet Frank Bernard Camp, in a 1917 collection entitled American Soldier
Ballads, that went on to inspire multiple variants among American law
enforcement and military, either as The Final Inspection, the Soldier's Prayer
This DTG (Direct to garment)
print is available in six sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL, AND XXXL.
Based on the “Angel of Victory
Statue” The bronze sculpture by Montreal artist Coeur de Lion
MacCarthy (1881-1971).
Canadian Pacific Railway
commissioned three identical statues to mark the more than 1,100 CPR employees
who perished during World War I, the statues were placed near CPR landmarks. In
Vancouver, the statue sits outside of Waterfront Station and was installed in
1921. The two others are in Winnipeg (installed in 1922) and Montreal
(installed in 1923). The dates of World War II were later added on plaques attached
to each statues base.
While all
three statues were cast identically, the Vancouver statue has its own mark of
history. In the 1960s concerned citizens attempted to clean what they thought
was dirt off the statue, as they felt its state was disrespectful. The “dirt”
was actually a natural patina that occurs on bronze over time. The scratch
marks from their cleaning tools can still be seen.
The Poppy represents the International ‘Flower of Remembrance’. Red poppies have been a symbol of remembrance and mourning since WWI. Inspired by Canadian Lt. Col John McCrae’s iconic poem “In Flanders Fields”
