Why do some men and women wear red poppies on 11 November?
The 11th of November is Remembrance Day - the First World War ended on 11 November 1918.The Royal British Legion (an ex-service organisation) adopted the red poppy as a symbol of remembrance - and as a fundraising device - almost since they were established in 1921.The use of the poppy comes from the reference ot it in the poem In Flanders' Field.....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 == ==
