I always buy a few poppys when I get the opportunity. I wear it proudly on my shirt and give one to my wife and daughter and I teach my little one what it is and what it means. It's not just a pretty little flower, but it's for why she and I are in a country we live in today. The sacrifices that were made. Thank you for the video.
My parents did the same, my sister is a November 11th baby too shares her birthday with remberance day, always tried to keep a good message and let her keep her day at the same time.
In my country, in Italy, there was a singer called Fabrizio de Andrè Who wrote a song about red poppies, called "La Guerra di Piero" ("The war of Piero"), he also created an album of his songs called "Mille Papaveri Rossi" ("One Thousand Red Poppies"). His songs talk about the modern society and the harsh reality of this world.
Yeah I have heard that it is generally a very hard occupation to get into. I was going to join the ROTP program this year but I decided to apply next September instead. I will have to study hard for that aptitude test, as the spatial tests can be hard...
@@cannonball666 Physicians of the time also used poppy milk to dull pain, dumbass. This goes back to Rome and ancient Mesopotamia using it even before that.
Im 41 and have only recently appreciated ww1. it started 3 years ago when I read All Quiet on the Western Front. This video is important. thank you team. thank you veterans
Interesting. A couple years back a little girl outside the local Safeway was selling poppies in support of the troops. I obliged and bought one. Never knew the significance of it till now. That poppy still hangs in the cab of my pickup.
When the WW1 ended the dead were not returned home, there were huge numbers of people still dealing with wounds for decades, nearly every family was affected. The people did not want their lost loved ones left behind to be forgotten or for the care of the wounded to be forgotten when the news moved on. There was a working class movement to raise money for memorials after the war that trusted the middle class to manage it. With so many wounded needing care many hospitals needed building and the authorities saw the memorial money as something to 'co=opt'. The funds for memorials were often diverted to hospital building so we had a lot of memorial hospitals built by the early 20s. There was no NHS then, the staffing off these was reliant on charity, The British legion was looking to raise money for care of veterans and the poppy was seen as a vehicle for that. The yearly poppy day prevents the veterans being forgotten. The poppy is not just for the two world wars but all wars and to remember fallen of all sides fighting for their country.
Please note: the poppy that is normally grown for this is a poppy that does not have a pod. The poppy that does have a pod Aka the "opium poppy" is not likely to be used. And if it was it would not matter because the poppy flower comes before the plant is matured and the flower does not have nearly as much opium content.
to the families who have had a family member who fought in the first world war i salute u to both the allied and central powers..war is a sad tragedy..but the men who gave their lives will live on in our hearts
What people don’t know is that the poem was originally discarded by McCrae. And also the it was very big in the paper. It had a small section around page 120 in the a little known news paper. Yet it had his much of an impact.
i got to read the original. McCray had been a resident at the Royal Victoria hospital in Montreal. as a result, the original poem was on display in a glass cabinet at the hospital entrance. after the Royal Victoria closed the poem was displayed at McGill University for the 100th anniversary of WWI but was then removed. i don't know what happened to it after that. i think it belongs in our national war museum. that poem is an important part of our nation's history and people should be allowed to read it. to read it in McCray's own handwriting, it was almost spiritual
In my country (Portugal), in 25th April we celebrate the end of a ditature and a return of the republic (it also celebrates the end of the colonial war) and the poppy represents it.
I saw veterans handing out fake handmade poppies for veteran's day recently. I took three: two for my grandfathers and one for my brother's godfather. All survived, but they were wounded in one way or another due to service.
Maybe I’ll wear one for this November. In honor of my great grandfather Roy Deal who was with the cavalry in WWI and my grandfather Robert Deal who was with the US Army in WWII and recently passed away.
I mean they need a lot of these puppies cause World War II is the most brutal war of mankind and history since the same time when World War I and World War II started 21 years later on 1939 to 1945 would cost 81 million lives
Jacob Burden *ohmyfuckingod* the ANZACs were the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. They fought in Gallipoli and poppies grew in no man's land on Anzac and Turkish blood
Michael Dingman to the chopping block now (this is a joke if you don't understand but you probably do I'm doing this because most people don't understand what's a joke)

A video about Canada in WW1 and WW2 would be great!
loganatorgaming same

Yeah I have heard that it is generally a very hard occupation to get into. I was going to join the ROTP program this year but I decided to apply next September instead. I will have to study hard for that aptitude test, as the spatial tests can be hard...
It's big here in Canada on R day
Bob Crachet I now I'm Canadian too
Bob Crachet And in the UK
t least where i'm from you're basically shunned if you don't have one
Try the UK
Same in england
Also the Poppy seeds were brewed into a nice opium tea... A very good thing for soldiers. Gave them respite from pain both physical and emotional
Poppys were also used during the Black Death era in Europe...
Nope
If you are referring to poppy usage to create opioids then yes, though I do think that the creation of poppy based drugs dates back even further
Ya the plague docters
They used roses and carnations, you idiot. Not poppies.
@@cannonball666 Physicians of the time also used poppy milk to dull pain, dumbass. This goes back to Rome and ancient Mesopotamia using it even before that.
Woman: Poppy to remember the fallen!
Brits: *I'll take your entire stock! *
All the feels...
Happy Rememberance day to Soldiers who Served their country and fight well
Celebrating all the Human Beings the ENGLISH have MURDERED around the globe !! 👺
I can't believe a canadian started this and I am one!
to an extent, yes it does. it is a sign of patriotism.
Koopa clips me to
Can't belive I am a canadian!
horrible analogy but ok
Wow its almost like Canada made no other affects on the world besides this!
Im 41 and have only recently appreciated ww1. it started 3 years ago when I read All Quiet on the Western Front. This video is important. thank you team. thank you veterans
That's my all time favorite book.

Sturm of Steel is better.

Can't wait :)
REPR Shadow COME ON AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!

REPR Shadow straya
I had always wondered the story... Very hitting and meaningful...
I read in flanders field in school and it's my favourite poem
now I know why entrenched had a poppy as the games picture...
In New Zealand poppies are used to remember the ANZACS who fought in gallipoli. I didn't know that it was an international thing.
Poppy is such a sweet name
every year on remembrance day we would always have a lesson on the poem in Flanders Fields
Just hoping that someday, someone will see this question and have the knowledge to answer Why are so many poppies near the railroad
Half of the people here were thinking war flowers, the rest, like me, immediately went to “holy crap a simple history on poppy and opium?”
a poppy factory woow respect mate.
to the families who have had a family member who fought in the first world war i salute u to both the allied and central powers..war is a sad tragedy..but the men who gave their lives will live on in our hearts
I love the fact I’m watching this years after it was made lol
Just a POI, The Royal Canadian Legion, the American Legion, and the (US) Veterans of Foreign Wars all use the Poppy as a fundraiser as well.
lest we forget about all the men how gave there life in the battle of vimmy ridge in world war1 and D-day in world war2
ya
We shall remember all of our men that fought
please make a WW1 - Czechoslovak Legions
THANK YOU! you are the first to acknowledge that McRae was Canadian and not British
I enjoy watching this channel and I was brought to this video by school
John mccrae was my great grandmothers cousin and i feel honored.
We sang "In Flander's Fields" at our Veteran's Day concert...
How unbelievably sad for a room of retired or wounded soldiers to be making remembrance flowers in honor of fallen troops.
Roses: *exists*
Poppy: hippity hoppity hip. Im better than you
I swear this is the coolest way to learn history
2019: Can we get an f in chat?
1918: Can we get a poppy in the flanders fields?

I was born in November and my dads dad was the captain of the air force
LlamaDdama hold up like the over all captain or that was his rank
Grandad?

My favorite flower
Very cool! I did not know this.
Poppy in my country represents drug addicts
They are two species of poppies under the same family "Poppy". Yours are opium with a pod, our ones are just flowering without a pod.
poppy is my city HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Depressing..

Where I live the seats around our town have metal pictures of soldiers and poppies
I kinda wonder if they really can be used to revive things.
Poppy in my game used for craft a red dye
I mean they need a lot of these puppies cause World War II is the most brutal war of mankind and history since the same time when World War I and World War II started 21 years later on 1939 to 1945 would cost 81 million lives
The poppys are also used in the
Australian
New
Zealand
Army
Corps

Excuse me, what about *THE ANZACs?*

Why are poppies portrayed in different colours
Does anyone what is the name of this sweet and sad soundtrack?
Looks a bit like a bullet wound with blood around it when worn, kind of fitting really
I like your videos
Please make a video describing how churchill killed anzacs by creating the Gallipoli plan
That's really nice.
It was also the world’s first effective amnestisia and a symbol for eternal sleep
