Yes, indeed! It is a beautiful poem and we all wear poppies this time of year to remember not just those who have fallen in the world wars but in all conflicts since. The Royal British legion sell poppies to raise money for their cause, which supports veterans and bereaved families. My mother and stepfather served in the army so it is important for us to do this and remember their fallen comrades. I don't recall poppies being worn when I lived in the USA. Thank you for providing a bit more about the history behind it. I was going to add it but ended up not having time today!
