  How did the distinctive red flower become such a potent symbol of our remembrance of the sacrifices made in past wars?
  
  As a symbol it was adopted by The Royal British Legion as the symbol for their Poppy Appeal, in aid of those serving in the British Armed Forces, after its formation in 1921.
  
  Why the poppy?

  In Flanders fields the poppies blow 
  Between the crosses, row on row, 
  That mark our place; and in the sky 
  The larks, still bravely singing, fly
  Scarce heard amid the guns below.
  
  We are Dead. Short days ago 
  We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, 
  Loved, and were loved, and now we lie 
  In Flanders fields.
  
  Take up your quarrel with the foe; 
  To you from falling hands we throw 
  The torch; be yours to hold it high. 
  If ye break faith with us who die 
  We shall not sleep, though poppies grow 
  In Flanders fields. 
  
  (written by Liet.-Col. John McCrae)
  In Flanders fields
