of larks and the poppies had just begun to bloom.Prior to the battle the field although rich in soil did not produce many poppies.While the battle waged the poppies grew prolifically due to the lime residue left from the battle. At the end of the war the poppies had dwindled to only a few.Today a few still bloom as if in remembrance of those who are buried there.
