    A giant poppy, as a reminder of the horror of the First World War, was donated to the community of Opdorp by the local small business organization, the M.O.L., on Sunday, June 23, 2019.
    The creator of the image is Arjen Moerzeke. Village poet Leonard Segers has made a free translation of the famous poem by the Canadian soldier, John McCrae. On December 8, 1915, he wrote a haunting description of the senseless war violence on the Yser Front.
