Since it's the 11th, my mind has turned to an interesting article I read last year about the history of the poppy symbol, and how its meaning and symbol has gradually evolved over the last few years, but can I find it to re-read? Nope. Help me out here folks! My Google-fu is weak today.
The link below lists(date descending) every poppy related news article produced by the BBC in 2012: http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q...ar=2012&end_day=31&end_month=12&end_year=2012
Thanks all, no such luck, but that article from greatwar.co.uk is nearly as good. It could have been a few years old now, dredged up in the most shared/most read bits of the Beeb.
