How did the poppy appeal begin?
It was based on a poem written by John McCrae that pretty much explains it all:In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved, and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.- Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)The poppies in the poem grew in Flanders in the disturbed earth of the battlefields and cemeteries where war casualties were buried. The image reflected in the poem is what created the association and thus became a symbol of Veterans Day, Memorial Day and Armistice Day.
