161st Battalion Commemoration
2016 marks the 100th Anniversary of the deployment of the 161st Battalion of
Huron to serve in the First World War. As part of a series of events marking
this important anniversary, 550 ceramic poppies will be installed in front of the
cenotaph in Goderich. The project is based on the 2014 art installation “Blood
Swept Lands and Seas of Red” by artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper at the
Tower of London. Each of the 550 ceramic poppies, made by community
volunteers, represents a life lost from Huron County in the First World War. The
poppies will be in place from September 22 until November 2, after which they will
be divided among the different cenotaphs across Huron County. Find out more
about the commemorative events at: https://www.facebook.com/161battalion/
