Proud Veteran. Views are my own. RTs/Likes ≠ endorsement.

It's time to put it on!

In the 11th month.
We put it on for 11 days.
Take it off in the 11th hour on the 11th day and lay it down as a symbol of the lives laid down for our safety and freedom.

Buy a poppy.
Wear a poppy.
Honour a veteran.

On this day in 1915, John McCrae wrote his famous poem “In Flanders Fields”. It was written by McCrae after he presided over the funeral of a friend and fellow soldier during the First World War. The poem was officially published in Punch Magazine on December 8th, 1915.

So many years later, his poem continues to poignantly express the tragedy and losses of war, and the importance of carrying on their memories.

The Battle of the Atlantic (1939–1945) helped define our Navy.
