About This Item

Flander's Field Poppy

During World War I, Red Flanders poppies (Papaver rhoeas) carpeted the fields during battles especially in Flanders. The little red flowers sprang up in bomb craters, around trenches and often marked soldiers' graves. Today the red Flanders poppy remains a symbol of war and its heroes. Many remember their lost friends and family members by wearing a paper poppy pinned to their lapel on November 11th, Veterans Day.

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, fly
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 we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
