Description

How the poppy came to be a symbol of remembrance after the First World War. The Flanders poppy was taken on as an emblem of remembrance shortly after the First World War ended in 1918. Since then, its reach has expanded across the world, and today it reminds us of the great sacrifice paid by so many in so many conflicts. This beautiful commemorative book tells the story of the remembrance poppy and is a wonderful tribute to all those who have fallen in global conflicts. With stunning black and white photography from the First World War, it will serve as a poignant reminder at the end of this centenary period. AUTHOR: Chris McNab is a full-time writer and freelance editor. He has worked on numerous military history books globally and specialises in the development of military weaponry throughout the ages. His books include: The Somme, The World War I Story and The Machine Gun Story. He lives in Neath, Swansea. 100 b/w illustrations
