POPPY: A SYMBOL OF REMEMBRANCE (IWM) (HB)

During the First World War, millions of soldiers saw the poppies in Flanders fields on the Western Front. Some even sent pressed poppies home in letters. Over 100 years later, the poppy is still a world-recognised symbol of remembrance of the First World War. Through archival photographs, objects and artworks from IWM’s collections, this illustrated book tells the poignant story of the poppy, from its origins on the battlefields to its enduring role as a symbol today.
