Flanders is the name given to northern Belgium. Many of the brutal actions of the first World War (1914 - 1918) took place there and the land was disturbed and churned up. Poppies tend to grow in freshly turned earth, so as the land began to recover the fields were covered in them. Although poppies have been a symbol of death and rebirth since ancient times, Mcrae's poem, "In Flanders Fields" gave a new impetus to the idea and they have become synonymous with our remembrance of those who fell in war.
