The red (petals) represents the blood that was spilt and the green (leaves) represents the green fields of France, which was formerly "No Man's Land" in World War One. The leaf is also positioned in the "11-o'clock" position on the clock, to symbolise the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month (when Armistice was signed).Poppies are visible on of the former European battlefields, as poppies naturally grow in disturbed earth in Europe. So they were seen as a fitting tribute as the poppies rise up where many men have fallen on the fields.Recommended book:Great Events: Remembrance Day by Gillian Clements
