The significance of the poppy is said to date back to the Napoleonic Wars in Europe – when the battlefields and resting sites of many fallen soldiers were enriched with lime from rubble. The chalky soil enabled the poppy (Papaver rhoeas) to thrive before the lime was absorbed. In WWI, the flowers inspired Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae of Guelph, Ontario, to pen the poem “In Flanders Fields” in May 1915. The poem, in turn, inspired several women and charitable organizations to create fabric poppies as a memorial and to raise funds for veterans and families of the fallen. On July 6, 1921, one of the women, France’s Anna Guérin, proposed that the Great War Veterans’ Association of Canada (now The Royal Canadian Legion) officially adopt the poppy as Canada’s symbol of remembrance. Canada’s first National Poppy Campaign was launched later that year.Millions of Canadians show respect and honour for veterans and fallen soldiers during the annual campaign, held in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day (November 11), by wearing a poppy. Poppies are also often worn at veterans’ funerals and other commemorative events.Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
