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.
Robbuh Grijp ;-;
A Canadian medic John McCrae Iwrote
It's pretty much mandatory were Canadians to learn it, we learn it with pride.
Ian McLean I’m part Canadian.

Getting a Simple History ad before watching a Simple History video. And what's more funny is that the ad was the video I just finished watching.
Gladys Ceniza lol
loganatorgaming
W' about the top one?
:P Lol!
It's not funny it's literally a video about WW1 remembrance Day
Talk about Canada
A video about Canada in WW1 and WW2 would be great!
loganatorgaming same
I'm joining as an Infantry Officer.
I might join when i'm older
Yeah I have heard that it is generally a very hard occupation to get into. I was going to join the ROTP program this year but I decided to apply next September instead. I will have to study hard for that aptitude test, as the spatial tests can be hard...
I always buy a few poppys when I get the opportunity. I wear it proudly on my shirt and give one to my wife and daughter and I teach my little one what it is and what it means. It's not just a pretty little flower, but it's for why she and I are in a country we live in today. The sacrifices that were made. Thank you for the video.
WW1 had nothing to with us genius neither had any war we been in since then lmao
My parents did the same, my sister is a November 11th baby too shares her birthday with remberance day, always tried to keep a good message and let her keep her day at the same time.
I wear my beaded poppy on my biker cut in remembrance of my fallen family members
To celebrate all the Human Beings the ENGLISH have MURDERED around the globe... right ?? 👺
Poppy in my country represents drug addicts
They are two species of poppies under the same family "Poppy". Yours are opium with a pod, our ones are just flowering without a pod.
poppy is my city HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Depressing..
Liu Kud where are you from
you live in the U.S. dont you...
It's big here in Canada on R day
Bob Crachet I now I'm Canadian too
Bob Crachet And in the UK
t least where i'm from you're basically shunned if you don't have one
Try the UK
Same in england
All the feels...
Poppys were also used during the Black Death era in Europe...
Nope
If you are referring to poppy usage to create opioids then yes, though I do think that the creation of poppy based drugs dates back even further
Ya the plague docters
They used roses and carnations, you idiot. Not poppies.
@@cannonball666 Physicians of the time also used poppy milk to dull pain, dumbass. This goes back to Rome and ancient Mesopotamia using it even before that.
I can't believe a canadian started this and I am one!
to an extent, yes it does. it is a sign of patriotism.
Koopa clips me to
Can't belive I am a canadian!
horrible analogy but ok
Wow its almost like Canada made no other affects on the world besides this!
In my country, in Italy, there was a singer called Fabrizio de Andrè Who wrote a song about red poppies, called "La Guerra di Piero" ("The war of Piero"), he also created an album of his songs called "Mille Papaveri Rossi" ("One Thousand Red Poppies"). His songs talk about the modern society and the harsh reality of this world.
Cool fact!
Wow
Yes, sure, in italy you always have all kinds of CLOW.....S !!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
*Cough* ANZACs *Cough*
There will be a video on the Gallipoli Campaign soon
Can't wait :)
REPR Shadow COME ON AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!
Lol
REPR Shadow straya
Im 41 and have only recently appreciated ww1. it started 3 years ago when I read All Quiet on the Western Front. This video is important. thank you team. thank you veterans
That's my all time favorite book.
Just finished reading it. It was unreal.
Sturm of Steel is better.
Woman: Poppy to remember the fallen!
Brits: *I'll take your entire stock! *
I'm Poppy.
No
This is not vision k bye no, just no
I keep a poppy in my vehicle, above my rearview mirror, all year long.
It's been there for nearly 20 years.
Happy Rememberance day to Soldiers who Served their country and fight well
Celebrating all the Human Beings the ENGLISH have MURDERED around the globe !! 👺
I mean they need a lot of these puppies cause World War II is the most brutal war of mankind and history since the same time when World War I and World War II started 21 years later on 1939 to 1945 would cost 81 million lives
Interesting. A couple years back a little girl outside the local Safeway was selling poppies in support of the troops. I obliged and bought one. Never knew the significance of it till now. That poppy still hangs in the cab of my pickup.
As do I, and my grandfather
i love learning about ww1
Aaron Pollari same
Me too
The sequel is better
Guy Nah
I think I'm gonna cry because of the sacrificed army soldiers
Please note: the poppy that is normally grown for this is a poppy that does not have a pod.
The poppy that does have a pod Aka the "opium poppy" is not likely to be used. And if it was it would not matter because the poppy flower comes before the plant is matured and the flower does not have nearly as much opium content.
Spanish Civil war or Turkish Indepenent war
Roses: *exists*
Poppy: hippity hoppity hip. Im better than you
lest we forget about all the men how gave there life in the battle of vimmy ridge in world war1 and D-day in world war2

Excuse me, what about *THE ANZACs?*
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis what's Anzacs? I've seen so many people comment this
Jacob Burden *ohmyfuckingod* the ANZACs were the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. They fought in Gallipoli and poppies grew in no man's land on Anzac and Turkish blood
reported and taken down due to your fake coughs take your medication fool.
Vincent Celeste what medication
any kind that kills coughs. even in posts. kill it!!!!! for it negates your whole post.
In New Zealand poppies are used to remember the ANZACS who fought in gallipoli. I didn't know that it was an international thing.
The poppy is the National flower of Isreal and to me is a great symbolism of CHRIST... Covering the ground in red, for his blood, known to represent sacrifice and as a symbol of rememberance. Also used to relieve pain..all pointing back to Christ..the Sacrifice for the sins of the world, his blood shed for all mankind, to heal the sick and weary, representing Salvation through his gift for all the world, and eternal life. HalleluYah to the King on High, who gave his life, for us..so that we can return home. 🙏🏾
Just hoping that someday, someone will see this question and have the knowledge to answer Why are so many poppies near the railroad
Just a POI, The Royal Canadian Legion, the American Legion, and the (US) Veterans of Foreign Wars all use the Poppy as a fundraiser as well.
As a soccer/football fan now I know why they wear kits with poppy flowers
I was born in November and my dads dad was the captain of the air force
LlamaDdama hold up like the over all captain or that was his rank
Grandad?
a poppy factory woow respect mate.
to the families who have had a family member who fought in the first world war i salute u to both the allied and central powers..war is a sad tragedy..but the men who gave their lives will live on in our hearts
now I know why entrenched had a poppy as the games picture...
Like my pic?

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.
I love the fact I’m watching this years after it was made lol
Rupture is such a pretty map.... also no mention of the tall poooy syndrom?
I read in flanders field in school and it's my favourite poem
I am happy that all your public message only have like
Every day is poppy day
every year on remembrance day we would always have a lesson on the poem in Flanders Fields
Why do i field a lot of poppy fields in Minecraft????
it does not make sence that it is not black and white LOL
When the WW1 ended the dead were not returned home, there were huge numbers of people still dealing with wounds for decades, nearly every family was affected. The people did not want their lost loved ones left behind to be forgotten or for the care of the wounded to be forgotten when the news moved on. There was a working class movement to raise money for memorials after the war that trusted the middle class to manage it. With so many wounded needing care many hospitals needed building and the authorities saw the memorial money as something to 'co=opt'. The funds for memorials were often diverted to hospital building so we had a lot of memorial hospitals built by the early 20s. There was no NHS then, the staffing off these was reliant on charity, The British legion was looking to raise money for care of veterans and the poppy was seen as a vehicle for that. The yearly poppy day prevents the veterans being forgotten. The poppy is not just for the two world wars but all wars and to remember fallen of all sides fighting for their country.

Half of the people here were thinking war flowers, the rest, like me, immediately went to “holy crap a simple history on poppy and opium?”
can you do a wwii faction on the canadian army
I had always wondered the story... Very hitting and meaningful...
I think the poppy represent the fire gun wound. THink about it, black on the inside and red scattered all around...
In my country (Portugal), in 25th April we celebrate the end of a ditature and a return of the republic (it also celebrates the end of the colonial war) and the poppy represents it.
2019: Can we get an f in chat?
1918: Can we get a poppy in the flanders fields?

Its sad to see popy many popys being changed from original popy. Lot of people dont know the meaning of popy every popy has a story and shuld be respected and popy shuld not be changed . How wuld we feel if someone start changing out Canadian flag .show respect Fredonia is not cheap and many lives lost for it 🙏
This is a very short history of the poppy! I’d suggest going back a few hundred years more and giving yourself a real education outside of this fairytale.
yum I ate poppy yum
The poppy should always be worn in pride
If I ever joined the army I don't think I would survive because I don't even know how to shoot a gun and fight do y'all think I can do it?
Like it had nothing to do with soldiers back then being junkies. "When nothing else would grow, unless someone planted it".
Please make a video describing how churchill killed anzacs by creating the Gallipoli plan
Poppies bloom in November... you know what else is in November?
No nut November.
Yeah...this is why I own a poppy plant...
