The flowers that better represent the battles and dead soldiers are forget-me-not, roses and poppies.The Flanders poppy is known to be the emblem of two world wars, and long before this, the field of the battle of Neerwinden (1693) was covered by a scarlet stream of poppies: the soil had been fertilized with the 20,000 soldiers’ corps. Find here the story of the gardens of remembrance.
