Poppies were grown in Flanders Field.
Red symbolizes the blood of the fallen soldiers, black is the grief over them, and green is the hope.
"In Flanders Fields" is a poem written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) of the Canadian Army. The poem commemorates the World War I soldiers who died on the Flanders fields. It is traditionally read at ANZAC Day commemorative services. Flanders is located in the north of Belgium, near the border with France. It was the scene of one of World War I's bloodiest battlefronts. The story goes that, following one of the bloodiest battles of World War I, in the fields of Flanders, when the ground was completely churned up and muddied, thousands of red poppies sprang up. The seeds had lain dormant in the soil and, after being aerated with the churning of the soil from the soldiers' boots and fertilised with their blood, the poppies grew abundantly, springing forth new life from death.
because soldiers died in poppy fields so it soldiers that have died that is also why it is called remembrance day and why we have two minuets silents.
