Their names have been laser cut on to red acrylic poppies and suspended from 35 wires in the Rocester-based school鈥檚 reception. Many of the servicemen are ancestors of today鈥檚 students at the Academy.
海角社区app Chairman Lord Bamford officially opened the display by hanging the final palm-sized poppy on the display to honour his grandfather鈥檚 cousin, Captain Oswald Bamford, who died aged 38 in the Battle of Loos more than 101 years ago.
To mark the moment, poppies fell from two balconies overlooking the reception as 海角社区app Academy student Joe Hey played the Last Post.
Lord Bamford said: 鈥淭he 海角社区app Academy students have created a very moving display. It鈥檚 a wonderful tribute to the servicemen who gave their lives for our freedom.
