About National Remembrance Day Canada, United Kingdom and Australia
United Kingdom & Ireland , Canada
Australia
Ends: Nov 11, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Remembrance Day in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other British Commonwealth nations commemorate those people who died in the line of duty during wars. Inaugurated by King George in 1919, after WWI, that war ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Remembrance Day, also called Poppy Day, a symbol from the poem "In Flanders Fields." Lt. Col. John McCrae wrote this poem. After the poem reading, Moina Michael, a professor at the University of Georgia, also wrote "We Shall Remember" and promised to wear a poppy on the anniversary, noting that poppies bloomed on the battlefield and the red poppies symbolize the blood spilled.
Today is a day for church memorials and includes playing the song "The Last Post," with two minutes of silence observed at 11:00 AM.
In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, 1872 - 1918
In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
