Thursday Nov. 11th: My grandmother Annie was from Dorset Row in Dublin and her father was killed in the 'Sinn Fein Uprising' (as described in the records of Guinness' Brewery). She had two brothers who were killed in Flanders fighting in the British Army in WW1. Thus she used to have the Poppy and Easter Lilly sitting proudly on her mantle piece. I thought of my two grand uncles as I wore the poppy.
