The red that you see are poppies inserted by people's names all along the wall. Poppies have only recently been adopted in Australia, as a sign of remembrance. Obviously we felt some Canadian pride at that! Also, I was interested that 2 whole panels were dedicated to Australian war dead in the service of the Royal Canadian Airforce in WWII. This is a bit mysterious to me since they had their own RAAF.
