Reply #3: In Britain, tomorrow is Remberance Sunday. [View All]

[Kutjara]

It's the closest sunday to 11/11, Armistice Day, when WWI ended. There are apparently only two British soldiers alive today who fought in the Great War to End All Wars.

From mid-October in Britain, most stores sell small paper poppies, displayed in boxes near the cash registers. You donate a pound or so to the Vetrans's charity and take one of the poppies to wear in your lapel. You'll see many people wearing them throughout the country, although inevitably the old wear them more than the young.
