In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

What do the poppies at the World War 1 museum stand for?
Flanders Field in Belgium. A cometary for WW1 soldiers. In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, Between the crosses row on row. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason for this is that the WW1 battle fields were stripped of vegetation and turned into fields of mud by the shelling that went on. Poppy seeds lie dormant in the soil for many, many years and when the ground is disturbed and they are brought up to the surface they sprout and flower the next summer. The battle fields of WW1 therefore turned into solid fields of bright red poppies, a striking sight that, given what had happened there, would have made a deep impression on anybody who saw them (hence the poem). In the UK on remembrance day (11/11) people wear red poppies and lay poppy wreaths in memory of the WW1 fallen.

Soldiers didn't wear poppies in WW2. The tradition of wearing a red poppy button originates from the 1917 poem "In Flander's Fields", by John MacRae. He wrote a poem about the carnage he saw during the Great War, and in the first line, says:"In Flander's Fields, the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row."In honor of MacRae and his poem, the poppy has become a symbol for Remembrance Day in Canada - a day where all soldiers fallen in battle are remembered and mourned.
Why are poppys given out?
They are given out in remembrance of the men who died in the World War because poppies grew in the field they were buried. There is a famous poem about Flanders's Fields where the poppies grow.
