Ella noticed dad’s sad tone and the way he touched the poppy pinned to his lapel. She touched her own poppy and said, “Dad, do we wear poppies because they’re the colour of blood?”
“Well, there was old soldier folklore that said poppies would grow on fields where soldiers died, watered by the blood they shed. And indeed, poppies were some of the first flowers to regrow on the devastated plains of France and Belgium. But the poppy is also a symbol of faith and respect, and is now uniformly recognised as a symbol of tribute to all fallen soldiers.”
