100 Years of Remembrance
When World War I ended in 1918, the world was changed forever. With over 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians slain, World War I remains one of the deadliest conflicts in history - it seemed there was a hardly a country in the world untouched by its horrors. In 2018, we celebrate 100 years of the service, honour and sacrifices of our armed forces.
The poppy became a symbol of Remembrance in 1921, inspired by the evocative and unflinching poem In Flanders Field by soldier John McCrae, which was published in 1915.
