Why do we wear poppies on Remembrance day? British veteran, Kevin Hicks B.E.M., tells the story of how the Remembrance poppy came into being very shortly after WW1, and why it's still as relevant today as ever. Back in 1921, the newly formed British Legion chose to use the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance and as the main symbol for their fund raising campaign.
