    In Flanders Field by John McCrae is a war poem written in 1915. It's a reference to all the red poppies that grew over the remains of fallen soldiers.

    The UK remembrance Day is also 11th November. We lay poppy wreaths on remembrance Sunday which is the closest Sunday to remembrance Day. The poppy is taken from flounders field where a lot of men lost there lives. So we wear poppies to show respect for the ones who have lost their life in all the wars.

    I watched the series first and have now started reading the book. I loved the series but the book is already better. The description of being blind in particular is quite personal to me because my father is blind and I have heard him describe his blindness in the same way. He has also been interested in radio since he was a teenager and is a radio broadcaster with a large antenna on the roof of their house that he climbs into to repair things. I read some pieces to him and he also thought it was so well described. He is now looking for the spoken version in Dutch.
    I stopped at 17 minutes because I didn't want to hear too much, but when I finish the book I will definitely come back and watch the rest.
    I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
    Greetings Saskia from the Netherlands

    ANZAC Day. ‘Australian, New Zealand Army Corp” Poppy Day is the April 25th, it commemorates New Zealand soldiers lost in war and honours those that returned. Armistice day is 11.11. XX in New Zealand and was the moment when hostilities ceased on the Western front in 1918.

    I totally missed the book club meeting but I read the book 😂 it was fantastic! Nookies is not weird, lmfao . There’s were some parts that were very difficult to read, the camp towards the end with the girls , the part with Werner’s friend at the university .I would give it a 4.5 simply for the over description and because my favorite character dies and he doesn’t get to be with Marie. Yes! Exactly humanizing both sides and just seeing these kids going through this . I like to imagine that at the end when Marie was old that she got to go to heaven and see everyone she lost and be with Werner.❤😢

    • @requiem3160
      @requiem3160 Рік тому

      I loved the book as well! It helped a lot with the second read since the first read can be very confusing (the constant swaps) and may pick up too slowly for some people which I can understand but I did really like it. What happened to Werner was kind of unexpected though (I did accidentally spoil myself on it by accidentally seeing it on the Wikipedia page so I was kind of prepared) but yeah the book was really good.

    There was an art installation to mark the centenary of the start of the 1st World War at the Tower of London in 2014. There was a ceramic poppy made to represent every British military fatality, 888,246. The poppy river spilled over the side of the Tower of London and into the moat, it was incredibly beautiful and shockingly sobering. They toured the country with a smaller installation and ours was over a pit wheel at a mining museum. Do take a moment to look at some pictures, its such a powerful reminder of the horror of war. Lest we forget.

    In Australia and New Zealand we have ANZAC Day on April 25th. The date is when troops were sent in to Gallipoli in Turkey in WW1. It was a tremendous loss of life and ended with the withdrawal of our troops. ANZAC Day is a public holiday. We also have services for Remembrance Day on 11th of November but it is not a public holiday.

    I still call 11 November Armistice Day because I'm old and that's what it was called in my childhood of long ago. I think changing the name was a huge mistake. We already had Memorial Day on 31 May. Remembering the Great War as it used to be called before we had to number them is a worthwhile endeavour. If the messages of the past are forgotten, we will be forced to repeat ourselves because we shall have learned nothing.

I really appreciate all of your insights and things you shared about the book but I knew right off and I appreciate all the tips and warnings, that as somebody who suffers from severe PTSD And have had chronic nightmares and night terrors for decades, and will continue for the rest of my life very very likely. So I stick with especially the supernatural and ghost all that good stuff 😁👍🏼. But I sure appreciate the review on the book.

    Veterans Day used to be called Armistice Day. It was the day that World War I ended.
    The poppies represent the fallen soldiers.
    The USA used to be celebrate Memorial Day on May 31, but was changed to the last Monday in May. Memorial Day is to honor and pay respects to the military lives that were lost.
    Veterans Day celebrates all veterans, living and dead
