Thanks to all for your interest in this post and for listening to the stories about what happened to my Grandad so intently. It was good to hear some of your stories too. If you have any more stories, questions or thoughts then please do post them here. I'm sure you were all thinking of those who have suffered the consequences of war today, as well as being thankful for all the things we have and take for granted, that others have been denied. The two minute silence we observed today was a good opportunity to do that. Special thanks to Mr Farnell for playing The Last Post so beautifully.
we wear poppies because it is our remembrance symbol of all the people that died in the wars

ReplyDeleteWe wear poppies because its to remember the people to fight in the war. The symbol is a poppy because they are flowers which grew on the battle field in World War I
ReplyDeletethe soilders name is stewerd
ReplyDeleteby navdeep
In my opinion this person is someone who fought in the world war in a group called grandad.jpb who is about twenty years old. I can tell this because his suit is all dark and grim with bruises on them. He also looks really young (maybe less than I said before ) but people go into war lying about their age.
ReplyDeleteI think you have written so much about poppies
Deletethe persons name is stewerd
DeleteMaham the persons name wasn't steward it was walter
DeleteI think you could be right senuda
Deletewe wear poppy because since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war.
ReplyDeletewe wear poppies to remember people who risked there life fighting in the war.I think the person in the picture was around 18 or 19 years old
ReplyDeletewe are rembering the people who have died in wars... I think this person is a person who was one of the main people in the wars .... I think this person was about 24 or 28 ..... I think he went to a desert and he went in 1936..... I think he got shot or might of lost his leg by someone cutting it.......
ReplyDeleteWHY DO WE WEAR POPPYS?

Dear Ola,
Deleteyou are so cute LOL. I really like what you wrote
we where poppies because on the battlefield in world war 1 poppy's where growing there.
ReplyDeleteWe wear poppies to remember the people who died in the war. We wear poppies instead of sun flowers because they grew on the battle field when world war one ended. We wear poppies to show that we remember the people who died, but poppies are not just to remember those who died in world war one it is in all the wars even the ones that are going on today.
ReplyDeleteI think the man is 19 years old because he looks so young I think he was in world war 1
ReplyDeletewe wear poppies because we rember people who died
ReplyDeleteI think the man was about 18-21 years old when he fought in the war. I think hes on of your granddads or a man who fought in one of the wars and got injured.
ReplyDeletethe poppy is a symbol because it was the only flower to grow in the fields . we are remembering the people who died during the wars or where affected . I think the man in the picture was 21 or 22. he probably went to world war 2. he could have been injured .so on Wednesday 11th at 11 o'clock on the 11 month we have 1 or 2 minutes of silence.
ReplyDeleteThe man in the picture is a man in the world war one,two but I am not about what his name his I think his name charile
ReplyDeleteRAHEEM F
we were it cause we will rember all the people in the war but not just in world war 1 and 2. On the 11 on wenesday at 11:00 we will all remember all the people who fighted in the war
ReplyDeleteI think that this man is 19 because people had to be over 18.This mans uniform looks like its from world war one even though the ones from both wars were similar.
ReplyDeleteThe poppys are used as to remember people who died in loads of wars.They are poppys because in poppy fialds it looks like blood from people when they got shot bombed or died in a siknes.We buy them so that people who are fighting in Siria or Afganistn.This money is used for weele chairs and medical helps.I think people shoudnt as why we wear poppys.We stand in silence at 11:00 on the 11th day on November.My mums and dads grama and granddad were in the war and I know that my mums mum was in the war but died when she was 6years old and I think this is a sad story.
by Maria
I think the person is 30 in the picture
ReplyDeleteThe poppies were used a symbol for remembrance day because it was inspired by world war.We wear poppies because we can remember the people who in the war
ReplyDeletethe reason why we were the poppy is to remember the pupil that fight's for our life's and the world to have peace. the recent wars where world war 1 and world war 2. i think the person who it is must be Jhon kiren his age must be 19
ReplyDeleteon the battlelefiled war there were poppy,s on the ground and people died on the poppys
ReplyDeleteI think the man is your granddad. He might have been 18 to 22 when he enlisted
ReplyDeleteSo many people aren't grateful for what those amazing soldiers did to help fight the Nazis who were torturing jews for what they believed in. Even though i am a muslim
ReplyDeletei think it is unfair that the the Nazis party tortured jews.
