Following the trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium during World War I, poppies have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime.
Remembrance Day or Poppy Day has been observed since the end of the First World War to remember armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities.

Next to Essex Farm CWGC Cemetery to the north of Ypres is the John McCrae Site. Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian Poet, Artist, Physician and Soldier wrote 'In Flanders Fields the Poppies Blow....' here in 1915 while working as a surgeon during the second battle of Ypres in the advanced dressing station here alongside the Yser Canal to the north of Ypres in Flanders, Belgium. These dugouts relaced the original earth dugouts in 1916 ( where he wrote his famous poem ) and have been preserved as a memorial to McCrae. The poem 'In Flanders Fieklds....' is on a bronze memorial stone nearby. McCrae died in 1918 and is buried in Wimereaux Cemetery at Boulogne, Pas de Calais in France.

The battlefield sites of WW1 in Flanders, the Somme, Verdun and the Argonne where thousands of men paid the ultimate price. Many were never found and still lie beneath the earth. 2014 is the centenary of the start of World War One, the Great War, the War
Ypres-Ieper WW1 Battlefield, 1914-1918, Belgium. Hill 60, Ypres, Flanders, Belgium. February 2014. Hill 60 ( 60 metres above sea level ) is basically a mass grave, the trenches of WW1 were filled with the remains of the dead and covered after WW1. Hill 60, just south of Ypres in Belgium, is a preserved memorial landscape, battle scared with shell holes and exploded mine craters. Seen here: A metal piece of German fortification lies in a mine crater. The site is popular with visitors and school parties who often start their tour of the battlefields here.Caption information from Wikipedia:.The Battle of Hill 60 (17 April ¿ 7 May 1915) took place in Flanders, south of Ypres on the Western Front, during the First World War. Hill 60 was captured by the German 30th Division, on 11 November 1914 during the First Battle of Ypres (19 October ¿ 22 November 1914). The ground south of Zillebeke rises for 2,000 yards (1,800 m) to a ridge between Zwarteleen and Zandvoorde. Roads ran north-west to south-east through the area from Ypres to Verbrandenmoelen and Hollebeke and from Zillebeke to Zwartelen and Zandvoorde. The Ypres¿Comines railway ran roughly parallel to the roads from Ypres and 600 yards (550 m) from Zillebeke, went through a cutting 15¿20 feet (4.6¿6.1 m) deep, which extended beyond the crest of the ridge. Earth excavated when the railway was built, had been dumped on either side to form small hillocks. Two were on the west side, a long irregular mound atop the ridge called "The Caterpillar" and a smaller mound 300 yards (270 m) down the slope towards Zillebeke, known as "The Dump". On the east side of the cutting on the highest point of the ridge, was a third mound known as "Hill 60", from which observers had excellent observation of the ground around Zillebeke and Ypres.French preparations to raid the hill were continued by the British 28th Division, which took over the line in February 1915 and then by the 5th Division. The planned raid was expanded.

Ypres-Ieper WW1 Battlefield, 1914-1918, Belgium. Unexploded WW1 Shells at Two Mine Craters, Kruisstraat, Flanders, Belgium. February 2014. The Iron Harvest. Unexploded WW1 ordnance waiting to be collected by Belgian Bomb disposal team from Belgian Army in Mine Crater country to the south of Ypres. Hundreds of shells are unearthed each year on the battlefields of Flanders and across northern France.
The iron harvest is the annual "harvest" of unexploded ordnance, barbed wire, shrapnel, bullets and congruent trench supports collected by Belgian and French farmers after ploughing their fields. The harvest generally applies to the material from World War I, which is still found in large quantities across the former Western Front.During World War I an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate.In the Ypres Salient, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the Germans forces fired at each other during World War I were duds, and most of them have not been recovered] In 2013, 160 tonnes of munitions, from bullets to 15 inch naval gun shells, were unearthed from the areas around Ypres.[4].Unexploded weapons - in the form of shells, bullets and grenades - buried themselves on impact or were otherwise quickly swallowed in the mud. As time passes, construction work, field ploughing and natural processes bring the rusting shells to the surface. Most of the iron harvest is found during the spring planting and autumn ploughing as the region of northern France and Flanders are rich agricultural areas.Farmers will collect the munitions and place them along the boundaries of fields or other collection points for authorities.Despite the condition of the shells, they remain very dangerous. The French Département du Déminage (Department of Mine Clearance) recovers about 900 tons of unexploded munitions every year.

The battlefield sites of WW1 in Flanders, the Somme, Verdun and the Argonne where thousands of men paid the ultimate price. Many were never found and still lie beneath the earth. 2014 is the centenary of the start of World War One, the Great War, the War
Ypres-Ieper WW1 Battlefield, 1914-1918, Belgium. Langemark German Cemetery, Langemark,Ypres_Ieper, Belgium. February 2014
The German Cemetery at Langemark, names of the young students and schoolboys carved into the wooden walls of the entrance to the cemetery. The German war cemetery of Langemark (formerly spelt 'Langemarck') is near the village of Langemark, part of the municipality of Langemark-Poelkapelle, in the Belgian province of West Flanders. More than 44,000 soldiers are buried here. The village was the scene of the first gas attacks by the German army, marking the beginning of the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915.During the First Battle of Ypres (1914) in World War I, inexperienced German infantry suffered severe casualties when they made a futile frontal attack on allied positions near Langemark and were checked by experienced French infantry and British riflemen. Contrary to popular myth, only fifteen percent of the German soldiers involved in the Battle of Langemark were schoolboys and students. Legend has it that the German infantry sang the first stanza of what later (1919) became their national anthem "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles", as they charged.The cemetery, which evolved from a small group of graves from 1915, has seen numerous changes and extensions. It was dedicated in 1932. Today, visitors find a mass grave near the entrance. This comrades' grave contains 24,917 servicemen, including the Ace Werner Voss.Between the oak trees, next to this mass grave, are another 10,143 soldiers (including 2 British soldiers killed in 1918). The 3,000 school students who were killed during the First Battle of Ypres are buried in a third part of the cemetery. At the rear of the cemetery is a sculpture of four mourning figures by Professor Emil Krieger. The group was added in 1956, and is said to stand guard over the fallen. The cemetery is maintained by the German War Graves Commission, the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge.
