For over a century, the poppy has been a striking symbol of remembrance. During the First World War, soldiers saw poppies flourish on the battlefields of the Western Front. Some even sent pressed poppies home in letters. Today, the poppy is remains a globally recognised emblem, and many of us choose to wear an artificial one in November. The poppy continues to capture our imaginations, reminding us to remember the human cost of war. Through archival photographs, objects and artworks from IWM's collections, this beautifully illustrated book tells the poignant story of the remembrance poppy, from its origins on the battlefields of Flanders during the First World War to its enduring role as a symbol of remembrance today.
