The Poppy and Remembrance Day

By Mick Webb CONTRIBUTING WRITER

George Newman

Volunteered at age 17 in 1914. He became a Machine Gunner. Served in France & Germany for four years.

Sgt. Terrance John O’Rourke

Having recently celebrated Thanksgiving Day, it is coincidentally appropriate that Canadians now prepare for another annual tribute of gratitude, one we know as Remembrance Day. In recognizing our indebtedness to those (2! 3,"509"8; 3! &/"2 that we might live in peace and freedom, we honour their memory with Remembrance Day services across our land, from the largest city to the smallest hamlet. Poppies too, are respectfully worn in appreciation of our fallen heroes.

army surgeon Lt.-Col. John McCrae – inspired by the poppies’ vibrant colour amidst such cruel desolation – wrote arguably the most familiar, and beloved war poem of all time, In Flanders Fields.

Far from war-torn Europe, American academic Miss Moina Belle Michael, deeply moved by the poem’s poignant opening words – “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row upon row …” – commenced wearing a red poppy until the signing of the armistice brought an 8#; 1! 128 94210#4* After the war, while teaching disabled veterans at the University of Georgia, Michael, realizing their need for 9#,#"0,' 3/::!51+ "58,18; a program of selling silk poppies to help provide that necessary assistance.

Her efforts led to America establishing the poppy as a symbol of remembrance

for their war veterans.

Shortly thereafter, Britain and its colonies also adopted this emblem, and its principles of supporting veterans and their families. In addition, a French woman, Madame Anna E. Guerin inspired France to embrace the poppy for the same reasons.

Until her death in 1944, Moina Belle Michael – affectionately known as “the Poppy Lady” – devoted 26 years of her life to having the poppy recognized as an emblem of remembrance.

In Canada, an Act of Parliament in 1948 granted trademark copyright to the Royal Canadian Legion, that they may preserve the poppy as a sacred symbol of the 3,"509"8 !6 !/5 )8185,#3* Today, in a direct link to Michael’s humanitarian vision, money raised by the Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy campaign

John McCrae did not survive the war. Weary and weakened, and far from home, he died in France of pneumonia and meningitis on Jan. 28, 1918. The year in which, impassioned by In Flanders Fields, Moina Belle Michael responded by writing an equally beautiful poem, We Shall Keep the Faith* -28 9#,' verse addresses why we wear the “Poppy Red.” And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honour of our dead.

Fear not that ye have died for naught; We’ll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields.
