PLEASE ® . WEAR.A P PPY.
The poppy, an international symbol for those who died in war,
also had international origins. A writer first made the connection
between the poppy and battlefield deaths during the
Napoleonic wars of the early 19th century, remarking that fields
that were barren before battle exploded with the blood -red
flowers after the fighting ended.
Prior to the First World War few poppies grew in
Flanders. During the tremendous bombardments of that
war the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allow-
ing the poppy to thrive. When the war ended the lime
was quickly absorbed, arid the poppy began to disappear
again:
Lt. -Col. John McCrae, the Canadian doctor who wrote the
poem IN FLANDERS FIELDS made the same connection 100
years later, and the scarlet poppy quickly became the symbol for
soldiers who died in battle. In November 1921, the first poppies
were distributed in Canada.
