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.
In the runup to Rembrance Day, 11th November, we wear poppies to represent the fact that after World War One, the only thing that grew in the war fields was poppies.
"In Flander's Fields", the poppy represents the war.
Field Marshal Haig was a good and bad leader. He created the poppy appeal fund after the war, but he also let thousands upon thousands of soldiers walk to their death
in a battle field :D
Remembrance Day, or Poppy day started in order to honour the memory of soldiers sailors and airmen who died to save us .

Flanders Field
The Poppy
After the Final war. After everyone who had died, poppy's grew (some say to represent the blood of the soldiers)
The reason that poppies grew so widly in Flander's fields is because when the bodies of all of the dead soldiers from world war I were buried in Flande's field the decomposing bodies became a fertilizer to the soil and made enough nutrients to make poppies, which eventually began to grow all over the Field, making it covered in red.
