Echo the sentiment. Question, how come the US never really adopted the poppie as a symbol of veteran's rememberance or even just of WWI?

It's kind of a Commonwealth thing; the poem In Flanders Field was written by a Canadian army doctor during WW1.



In Flanders Fields
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

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 the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing 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.

McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. Here is the story of the making of that poem:

Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, it was impossible to get used to the suffering, the screams, and the blood here, and Major John McCrae had seen and heard enough in his dressing station to last him a lifetime.

As a surgeon attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, Major McCrae, who had joined the McGill faculty in 1900 after graduating from the University of Toronto, had spent seventeen days treating injured men -- Canadians, British, Indians, French, and Germans -- in the Ypres salient.

It had been an ordeal that he had hardly thought possible. McCrae later wrote of it:

"I wish I could embody on paper some of the varied sensations of that seventeen days... Seventeen days of Hades! At the end of the first day if anyone had told us we had to spend seventeen days there, we would have folded our hands and said it could not have been done."

One death particularly affected McCrae. A young friend and former student, Lieut. Alexis Helmer of Ottawa, had been killed by a shell burst on 2 May 1915. Lieutenant Helmer was buried later that day in the little cemetery outside McCrae's dressing station, and McCrae had performed the funeral ceremony in the absence of the chaplain.

The next day, sitting on the back of an ambulance parked near the dressing station beside the Canal de l'Yser, just a few hundred yards north of Ypres, McCrae vented his anguish by composing a poem. The major was no stranger to writing, having authored several medical texts besides dabbling in poetry.

In the nearby cemetery, McCrae could see the wild poppies that sprang up in the ditches in that part of Europe, and he spent twenty minutes of precious rest time scribbling fifteen lines of verse in a notebook.

A young soldier watched him write it. Cyril Allinson, a twenty-two year old sergeant-major, was delivering mail that day when he spotted McCrae. The major looked up as Allinson approached, then went on writing while the sergeant-major stood there quietly. "His face was very tired but calm as we wrote," Allinson recalled. "He looked around from time to time, his eyes straying to Helmer's grave."

When McCrae finished five minutes later, he took his mail from Allinson and, without saying a word, handed his pad to the young NCO. Allinson was moved by what he read:

"The poem was exactly an exact description of the scene in front of us both. He used the word blow in that line because the poppies actually were being blown that morning by a gentle east wind. It never occurred to me at that time that it would ever be published. It seemed to me just an exact description of the scene."

In fact, it was very nearly not published. Dissatisfied with it, McCrae tossed the poem away, but a fellow officer retrieved it and sent it to newspapers in England. The Spectator, in London, rejected it, but Punch published it on 8 December 1915.

To all our fallen, rest in peace and thank you for your courage and sacrifice.

Lest we forget.

She was believed to have been killed in a matter of seconds by powerful bites to the nape of the neck. Police said the doorlatch of a cage at the back part of enclosure had been unfastened at the time. During cleaning, the animals were supposed to be confined to the cage. The keeper might have forgotten to close it. The zoo was closed to the public as an inquiry began. EPA/WOLFGANG THIEME

It's kind of a Commonwealth thing; the poem In Flanders Field was written by a Canadian army doctor during WW1.


Agreed, in the commonwealth there is a much stronger link with 11/11 to WWI than in the U.S.

What does poppy mean for British and Canadian? Ive read many times "wear your poppy with pride", but didnt understand...

[BritSig]

After the first world war the first flower to grow on the old battle grounds were poppies. Hence it became the symbol of rememberance.
In the commonwealth we have a charity run by the royal british legion who aid ex-servicemen and their families. By buying a poppy you are helping them out and by wearing the poppy you are overtly showing your pride and respect for those fallen past till present.
All killed in war, conflicts and acts of terrorism are remembered.
For me it brings pride of my Grandfather who served from 1930 but fought in WW2 from 1939 till 1943 (captured by Japanesse) and thankfully returned home a hero.

[grabie_bis]

thanks britsig! I envy your nation,s pride for vet,s and fallen soldiers. In Spain that would be called fascism...

[grabie_bis]

double post, sorry.

Damn you Rememberance Day! It's such a sad day for me. All the pics of veterans from the free world gathered to honor the memory of the many fallen always bring lumps in my throat.

Nice pics. I will remember the fallen. Lest We Forget...

Agreed.

I ended up buying a few poppies because I am accident ****e and kept losing them. When I bought one yesterday the veteran who was dispensing them had more medals then a general I swear, and had a huge smile on his face!

There must be a day like today...

Now that's somebody I can take seriously.

It´s a very creative form of protest. Reality satire.

It's kind of a Commonwealth thing; the poem In Flanders Field was written by a Canadian army doctor during WW1.Very great poem. My english teacher's father in high school was a World War II veteran, so she had everyone in the class memorize the poem. Before break, we each recited it in front of the entire class and we have some veterans dropped by to be in the audience.

Egeland met today with Kony, the elusive leader of Ugandas notorious rebel Lords Resistance Army and one of the worlds mostwanted war crimes suspects. But the brief meeting, hoped to boost peace talks to end northern Ugandas brutal, twodecade war, ended inconclusively with Kony griping about Kampala and war crimes charges and denying the rebels hold captives, officials said.
