Red poppies are uses to commemorate service men and women who died since World War I.
In the context of the red poppy, particularly the one associated with Remembrance Day, the color black often symbolizes mourning and loss. While the red represents sacrifice and the blood shed by soldiers, the black serves to honor and remember those who have died in conflict. Together, these colors convey a poignant message of remembrance and the heavy cost of war.

"In Flander's Fields", the poppy represents the war.
In "The Red Poppy," the red poppy is a metaphor for the beauty of nature and the fleetingness of life. It symbolizes both the fragility and resilience of life, as well as the contrast between innocence and war. The poppy's vibrant red color serves as a vivid reminder of the bloodshed and sacrifice of war.
After the Final war. After everyone who had died, poppy's grew (some say to represent the blood of the soldiers)
The poppy represents all the Canadian and American solders that have died in war to fight for our country's freedom.

The Red Poppy.
Because they represent poppies from Flanders in Belgium. In this particular region thousand of lives were lost during the first world war. Poppies grew in the fields after the war. So the poppies don't directly represent the fighting at Gallipoli but are used to remember the dead from all of WW1
The poppy serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance in Canada, particularly honoring the sacrifices made by soldiers in World War I and subsequent conflicts. It is associated with the Royal Canadian Legion's annual Poppy Campaign, which raises funds for veterans and their families. The flower's vibrant red color symbolizes the blood shed by service members, while its resilience reflects the enduring spirit of those who served. As a result, wearing a poppy during the Remembrance Day period is a way for Canadians to pay tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of their military personnel.
The poppy flower has had symbolic meaning for centuries. The name "poppy" seems to come from the Latin word for "milk" or "milky," due to the color of the sap from this flower. As for the symbolism, poppies come in several colors, but I assume you are asking about the widely-known red poppy. It has been linked it with sleep (the sap from this flower has a sedative effect). In Victorian England, the color of the red poppy symbolized not just deep sleep but also loss (from a loved one dying). Interestingly, in some cultures, especially in Asia, it does not represent loss or sleep, but rather, deep and passionate romantic love. And in a number of cultures, including Europe and North America, the red poppy has become the symbol of remembrance, especially remembrance of those who died during a war. There is a famous poem from World War 1, with the first line "In Flanders Field, the poppies grow/ between the crosses, row on row..."
