p ppy.®.the flower of remembrance
On November 11 th, Canadians across the country will stop and remember the men who were
killed in wars. There will be parades to memorials in cities, towns and villages. Then everybody
will stand in silence as they remember the more than 1 12, 000 brave Canadians who were
killed. -
That is why November the 1 1 th is called Remembrance Day.
On that day everybody wears a poppy, a reminder of the blood -red flower which grew in
fields where many of these men died. Much of tAe fighting was done in a place called Fl theanders.
This was during the war of 1914-1918. Every spring, the soldiers fighting in the trenches
noticed the red flowers blooming on the battlegrounds. And as more and more of their friends
were killed, the soldiers noticed that the thepoppies
e graves.
When the war was over and when the soldiers bloomed
home,er they still thought of
l
who were buried in Flanders. Each time they thought of the graves, they thought of tooppies rids
which grew around the graves. Then the men who came back from the war decided thatK th
would wear a poppy each year to show that they still remembered their friends. ey
November the 11 th was the day on which the fightingsto
been in the ware picked that day each year to wear a ped in 1918. The men who had
the war, but who loved the soldiers who had been killed, also wanted toppy. Other people showothatt thehadt been in
remembered the dead. So they also wore a poppy. y

In Flanders Fields
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,
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 w throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
1f ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, tho poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
