■ Western Front. The poem became the inspiration for the adoption of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance.


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, fly ■. Scarce heard amid the guns below.


i 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 we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.


HANNAH MARKWELL aged 7, from Manchester If ye break faith with us who die ..........

■ We shall not sleep, though poppies ■ grow


In-Flanders’ fields. ,


Moina Michael, working in France, was , so moved by the poetry that she bought . some poppies, wore one herself and


sold some to friends, giving the money r to servicemen in need. A French colleague suggested making artificial ones to sell, beginning the tradition. The idea was taken up by Major George Howson, as he was deeply moved by - the plight of ex-servicemen who seemed unemployable in peacetime. He; ; formed the Disabled Society to help


-i them, then approached the British ‘ Legion, formed in 1921, as he thought the making of artificial poppies might , offer opportunities for them. The '


. Legion, now the Royal British Legion, established the poppy factory and the first Poppy Day was held on November


■ Hth',1921. Since then more wars have been fought


and more help needed by the disabled, traumatised and their dependants. The Poppy Appeal is about both


remembrance and assistance. We remember the sacrifice made by those who served, but it also reminds us that ; -• help is,needed by many ex-servicemen , and women, plus their families. The Services are still required. There is the possibility of war in the Middle East, , a spread of terrorist activity throughout ,, the world and Irish terrorism is still a .


threat in the United Kingdom.


Military personnel are killed and injured during their service even when not on


active service. The plea from Hannah Markwell, printed on the Legion's posters this year, highlights the continuing suffering. Her father, a Royal Navy NCO,


• died in January, aged 44, of motor neurone disease, which he was


convinced was brought pn by the immunisation programme ordered.prior to the Gulf War in 1990.


...


The Royal British Legion works , constantly to provide help and does so


without government financial support, so is entirely dependent on voluntary


contributions. Please give generously - in memory of those who gave so much.


Th£ Poppy Appeal. Always on active service. Please give generously.
