Remembrance Day


November brings us the Remembrance Day, which is a day to think of fallen soldiers who have sacrificed themselves for our freedom. While Remembrance Day is on the 11th of November, as the Armistice was signed “on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month,” in the UK the second Sunday of November is known as Remembrance Sunday, to give people opportunity to observe the significance of the Memorial Day.

In early November, many people will wear the remembrance poppy. This symbol of remembrance was inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields,” by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. Its opening line “In Flanders fields the poppies blow” refers to the poppies that grew in Flanders Fields, a mass grave for fallen soldiers.

In modern times, Remembrance Day is inclusive to soldiers who have lost their lives in other wars, such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the LRC we now have a display about Remembrance Day, with some famous war poetry, and a selection of books.
