Poppies began to grow on the bomb blasted battlefields of WW1. The red poppy was adopted to commemorate the thousands of soldiers who lost their lives (or were maimed for life) , and to emphasise the futility and waste of wars. Money raised by selling poppies allow various service charities to help those from the armed services who are in need of help to overcome the affects of conflict up to the present day (and in the future).
