History History

By Catherine Rose

The ofthe theRemembrance Remembrance Day Poppy The History History of Day Poppy

With celebrations to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War, the humble but striking poppy will once again be evident as a symbol of hope and remembrance.

But what is its history?

Over the four years that the Great War raged, the fields of Flanders in Belgium that saw much of the bloody trench warfare were decimated.

But like some miracle of life triumphing over death, out of this devastation grew hundreds of field poppies.

Part of the papaver family (papaver rhoeas), the Flanders Poppy, as it came to be known, thrived in the barrenness – its bright red colour echoing the bloodshed and a perfect symbol of hope for the future.

she promptly went out to Wannamaker’s – a department store in New York – and bought all the artificial poppies they had. She then sold them as souvenirs of remembrance under the banner ‘keep the faith’.

Due to Moina’s efforts, the National American Legion adopted the poppy as their symbol, agreeing to wear it on Armistice Day, 11th November.

While attending an American Legion Convention in 1920, Anna Guérin, a member of the French YWCA, saw the poppy not only as a global symbol of remembrance but also as a way of raising funds.

She decided to start mass producing artificial poppies to sell as badges in France. The proceeds would be used to help war widows and orphans.

suit.

In 1922, Major John Howson opened the first UK poppy factory in London. Howson had received the Military Cross during the First World War and had subsequently set up The Disabled Society to help provide employment for disabled veterans. His initial staff were five disabled exsoldiers.

Today there are two poppy manufacturers in the UK – The Poppy Factory in Richmond (the original poppy factory relocated) and The Lady Haig Poppy Factory in Edinburgh.

The Scottish poppy is slightly different to the English in that it has four petals instead of three and no leaf.

Both are staffed by exservicemen and women and produce millions of poppies annually. The Poppy Factory also does free tours which are open to all.

Along with the crosses and wreaths that will be placed on war memorials across the country on Remembrance Sunday this centenary year, armies of volunteers will sell millions of poppies in the run up to 11th November.

After they proved a success in France, Anna took them abroad. In England, she met Field Marshall Douglas Haig, Canadian WW1 soldier and also the first president of the poet John McCrae wrote the (Royal) British Legion founded The idea behind them remains now famous poem ‘In Flanders in 1921 and the first British the same – a non-religious, Fields’ about their significance Legion Poppy Day Appeal non-cultural symbol of in 1915. After reading a copy took place in 1921 with nine remembrance that helps to of McCrae’s poem, American million poppies sold and over raise money for veterans and University Professor Moina £100,000 raised.

Literary Gift Guide Stuck for the perfect present?

Our literary gift guide might help… for autobiography addicts educated – tara Westover Tara Westover was born to strict Mormon parents who didn’t agree with school, modern medicine or women’s equality. Tara spent her childhood attempting to become the dutiful daughter her parents demanded, while keeping on the right side of her violent, manipulative older brother. Education was to prove a way out, but eventually Tara had to choose between becoming the Tara she wanted to be, and the one her parents would accept. A stunning memoir that will stay with the reader long after Christmas is over.

for historical fiction fans the seeds of america trilogy (chains, forge and ashes) – laurie halse anderson It’s 1776 and the American Revolutionary War is raging.

Isabel is offered the chance of freedom from slavery in exchange for spying on her owners. It’s an opportunity she can’t pass up, however dangerous. While Chains, Forge and Ashes are marketed as children’s books, this wellresearched trilogy will appeal to teens and adults alike.

for family saga fans the distant hours – kate morton A long-lost letter sets Edie on a quest to uncover more about her mother Meredith’s experiences as an evacuee.

Meredith was taken in by the three Blythe sisters, including the enigmatic Juniper. As Edie soon discovers, her mother isn’t the only one who’s been keeping secrets. An enjoyable, atmospheric novel that treads the line between family saga, gothic mystery and historical fiction.

WE ARE OFFICIALLY ‘A’ RATED

I

Great people to buy your Windows & Conservatories from!

f you’re thinking about brightening up your home with new windows or extending and increasing the value of your property by adding a conservatory, our new guide ‘The Seven Costly and Potentially Disastrous Mistakes People Make When Buying Conservatories and Windows’ will help you ensure you get exactly what you pay for.

Is this what’s on your mind?

After installing 92,500 double glazed units and 3,814 conservatories David says he knows what’s on your mind when you’re considering buying windows and conservatories.

1. You don’t want to be pressured into buying – so we don’t employ those high pressure salespeople that double glazing companies have become infamous for. Instead, our designers will work with you, at your own pace and help you to maximise your budget and have complete peace of mind.

2. You worry about the safety of your money – so we don’t ask for big up front payments. As a long established, financially stable company, we’re not desperate to get our hands on your money.

Window and door designs to capture your imagination

3. You’re concerned about the mess that might be caused – so we employ a ‘tidy up system’ and we clean as we go, window by window, day by day.

4. You don’t want to be let down by missed start or completion dates – so we employ one of the industries top installation managers to manage our ten highly experienced fitting teams, some of whom have now been with us for over thirteen years.

5. And of course you want a fair price – our quotations speak for themselves… see for yourself by phoning for a free quotation or visiting our showroom for a no hassle browse.

Shaun s Dream is Comming True...

HELSBY METHODIST CHURCH

On 3 th uly Shaun Garner aged 9 was diagnosed with LL ( cute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia). e underwent chemotherapy treatment over a three year period, enduring weekly theatre trips for particular tests.

In 5 Shaun got the all clear and went into remission for two years until in ay 7 he was diagnosed with relapsed LL at 5 years old. s a family we were told Shaun would need to have a bone marrow transplant and we began nding a match immediately, we didn t need to use an anonymous donor as ebecca Shaun s sister was thankfully a match.

Shaun spent his 6th birthday in isolation on the one arrow Transplant Ward in anchester Children s ospital on the 7th September 7 and on the th September 7 ebecca started the one arrow Transplantation which lasted for six & a half hours.

On the 9th September 7 Shaun was given the bone marrow. The tests are now showing that the one arrow has worked against the leukaemia but is now working too much and attacking Shaun s body causing G (Graft versus host disease) which affects Shaun s skin, eyes and all other organs.

Shaun was offered a dream holiday from a charity called Give ids The World, however, the support fee and health insurance had to be fundraised and proven to the charity that we had done so. We held a fundraising event with live music, food, raf es, bingo and ebecca did rave the Shave and donated her hair to the rincess s trust. yan a member of staff at Sutton all golf club and ebecca s anc also shaved his hair and beard off to raise money. uge thanks to Sutton all Golf Club s members and their ama ing staff we raised 35 through generous sponsors. Through all the fundraising this means Shaun and his immediate family are able to accommodate Shaun s wishes and spend Christmas in Florida. is dream is coming true.
