I'm assuming that what you meant to ask was: "Why are poppies used as a symbol of Remembrance Day and the horrors of the Great War"?
Poppies are special, botanically, in that they usually only bloom on 'disturbed ground'.
The bombed and shelled battlefields were churned many times over by shellfire and explosions. when the battles subsided, especially in Belgium, poppies bloomed in abundance marking the thousands of killed soldiers who had been sacrificed on, what many feel, were futile and politically invalid pursuits.
