Life in the UK Test 28
What name is given to the red flowers found on the battlefields of the First World War and which people wear during Remembrance Day?
Correct Answer: Poppies
Red poppies bloomed naturally over the graves and battlefields of Flanders (Belgium) and other areas during the First World War.
They became a powerful symbol of remembrance after Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields" in 1915.
In the UK, people wear artificial red paper poppies in the days leading up to Remembrance Sunday (the nearest Sunday to 11 November) to honour those who have died in wars. The tradition is associated with the Royal British Legion.
