Remembrance Dayについて

Remembrance Day is observed on November 11th in Canada, Australia, and many Commonwealth countries to honor the men and women who died in military service, particularly in the First and Second World Wars.

The day commemorates the armistice signed on November 11, 1918, ending World War I. In Canada, Remembrance Day is a federal statutory holiday; in Australia, it is observed as a public holiday only in some states.

The red poppy is the primary symbol of Remembrance, drawn from the poem 'In Flanders Fields' by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. Poppies are sold and worn in the weeks leading up to November 11th.
