Inscriptions & markings

Text on back in black type: "Fired from a rifle or gun, they sound, Fly through the air, some fall to the ground, covered in soil and grass they lay, 100 years we remember our heroes this day, Now rise the bullet recycled from the past, A beautiful poppy that will ever last" by Ron Davis, www leadastray.com.au
