Remembrance Day

Because it is a common flower in Europe

Because it represents peace and hope

Because it grew on battlefields after World War I

Because it is used in traditional ceremonies

The start of World War I

The signing of the Armistice to end the Great War

The end of World War II

The beginning of Remembrance Day

It is held on the second Sunday in November

Special services are held at war memorials and churches

It was renamed after the Second World War

It is celebrated on the same day as Remembrance Day

It was the only flower that survived the devastation of war

It was the favorite flower of soldiers

It was planted by families after the war

It grew in Flanders Field where battles took place

In Flanders Fields

We Shall Keep the Faith

The Soldier

Dulce et Decorum Est
