People began wearing poppies in the aftermath of World War I, particularly around 1920, as a symbol of remembrance for fallen soldiers. The tradition was inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields" by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, which referenced the red poppies that grew on battlefields. The Royal British Legion adopted the poppy as a symbol of remembrance, and it has since become a worldwide emblem honoring military personnel who have died in conflict.
