Why the Poppy?

The poppy has a long association with Remembrance Day. But how did the

distinctive red flower become such a potent symbol of our remembrance of

the sacrifices made in past wars?

Scarlet corn poppies (popaver rhoeas) grow naturally in conditions of

disturbed earth throughout Western Europe. The destruction brought by the

Napoleonic wars of the early 19th Century transformed bare land into fields

of blood red poppies, growing around the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

In late 1914, the fields of Northern France and Flanders were once again

ripped open as World War One raged through Europe's heart. Once the

conflict was over the poppy was one of the only plants to grow on the

otherwise barren battlefields.

The significance of the poppy as a lasting memorial symbol to the fallen was

realised by the Canadian surgeon John McCrae in his poem In Flanders

Fields. The poppy came to represent the immeasurable sacrifice made by

his comrades and quickly became a lasting memorial to those who died in

World War One and later conflicts. It was adopted by The Royal British

Legion as the symbol for their Poppy Appeal, in aid of those serving in the

British Armed Forces, after its formation in 1921.

Read the Owen Sheers’ book review and

answer the questions that follow.

Book Of The Week: Pink Mist by

Owen Sheers 06 June 2013 By Alex Bilmes

I'm going to come right out and say it: I don't read an enormous amount of

contemporary poetry. While you try to absorb that shocking statement, let me qualify: I

mean, I do like a bit of Simon Armitage, the bard of Marsden.

At Christmas I enjoyed the American August Kleinzahler’s groovy Sleeping it off in Rapid

City. And Clive James had a terrific thing in the New Yorker the other week, about getting

old. But for the most part, I'm a stranger to poetry.

And when our paths do cross, my tastes are as sophisticated as a limerick. I like Larkin.

And Eliot. Bit of Yeats, perhaps. When I was at school I could do the Metaphysicals. But

the Romantics always seemed so wussy, the Classical epics too long. And the Beats were

bores on bad drugs.

So when I sing of the Welsh poet Owen Sheers’ phenomenal new book, Pink Mist, about

the war in Afghanistan, I don't do so as some airy-fairy versifier in a floaty scarf.

I do it because this is riveting, relevant British writing about the experience of young

men going off to and coming back from fighting for their country.

Strictly speaking, it’s a verse-drama rather than a poem. It was commissioned by BBC

Radio 4 and broadcast in five nightly episodes last year. But you can easily read it as I

did, as a poem on the page (it helps if you can do a West Country accent in your head,

and have the semblance of a sense of rhythm).

Pink Mist concerns, and is for the most part narrated by, three Bristolian teenagers –

Arthur, Hads and Taff – who enlist in the British army, and three women in their lives, a

mother, a wife and a girlfriend, who they leave behind and then return to.

It is contemporary in its points of reference – dubstep, IEDs, Navy SEALs – and timeless

in its depiction of the pity of war. It is both utterly convincing – Sheers has clearly spent

time with these people – and extremely moving, devastating even. (If you were cynical

you’d use words adjectives like “explosive” and “incendiary” to describe Sheers work,

but I’m classier than that).

1. Read the line below. Copy out another word for poet.

‘While you try to absorb that shocking statement, let me qualify: I mean, I do like a bit of Simon

Armitage, the bard of Marsden.’

____________________________________________________________________________________

2. Is this passage written in the first, second or third person?

3. List the names of two poets mentioned by Alex Bilmes in his article.

4. Underline the use of slang in this sentence.

‘But the Romantics always seemed so wussy, the Classical epics too long. And the Beats were bores on

bad drugs.’

When Chas awakened, the air-raid shelter was silent. Grey winter light was creeping

round the door curtains. It could have been any time. His mother was gone, and the

brown attaché case with the insurance policies and bottle of brandy for emergencies. He

could hear the milk-cart coming round the square. The all-clear must have gone.

He climbed out of the shelter scratching his head and looked round carefully. Everything

was just the same: same whistling milkman, same cart-horse. But there was too much

milk on the cart and that was bad. Every extra bottle meant some family bombed out

during the night.

He trailed round to the kitchen door. His mother had the paraffin-heater on and bread

frying. It smelt safe. There were two more panes of glass out of the window, and his

father had blocked the gaps with cardboard form a Nestle’s Milk box. The lettering on

the cardboard was the right way up. Father was fussy about things like that.

Father was sitting by the heater with his pint mug of tea. He looked weary, but still neat

in his warden’s uniform, with his beret tucked under his shoulder strap.

‘You remember that lass in the greengrocer’s?’

‘The ginger haired one?’ said his mother, still bending over the stove.

‘Aye. A direct hit. They found half of her in the front garden and the other half right

across the house.’

‘She didn’t believe in going down the shelter. She was always frightened of being buried

alive.’ From the way his mother hunched her shoulders, Chas could tell she was trying

not to cry.

Chas’s father turned to him.

‘Your rabbits are all right. Chinny had some glass in her straw, but I shifted it. But there’s

six panes out of the green house. If it goes on this way, there’ll be no Chrysanthemums

for Christmas.’

‘It won’t be the same without chrysants,’ said his mother. Her lips were tight together

but shaking slightly. ‘Here’s your breakfast.’

Chas cheered up. Two whole slices of fried

bread and a roll of pale pink sausage meat. It tasted queer; not at all like sausage

before the war. But he was starting to like the queerness. He ate silently, listening

to his parents. If he shut up, they soon forgot he was there. You heard much more

interesting things if you didn’t butt in.

‘I thought we were a gonner last night, I really did. That dive bomber…I thought it

was going to land on top of the shelter…Mrs Spalding had one of her turns.’

‘It wasn’t dive bomber,’ announced Father with authority. It had two engines. He

came down on the rooftops ‘cos one of the RAF lads was after him. Tight on his

tail. You could see his guns firing. And he got him. Crashed on the old laundry at

Chirston. Full bomb load. I felt the heat on me face a mile away.’ Mother’s face

froze.

‘Nobody killed, love. That laundry’s been empty for years. Just as well – there’s

not much left of it.’

Chas finished his last carefully-cut dice of fried bread and looked hopefully at his

father.

‘Can I go and see it?’

Modern war poetry: British soldiers explore

Afghanistan and Iraq wars in verse 17th April, 2011.

For centuries, soldiers have used poetry to describe the horrors of war. The celebrated First World

War poets – Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Rupert Brooke – memorably used cathartic verse to

illustrate the futility of a conflict that saw a generation of young men perish.

Yet war poetry offers much to the reader, too.

“When someone reads a war poem, they get the most vivid impression of what war is like – much

more so than any report on television,” says Lord Baker, the former education secretary and editor of

the Faber Book of War Poetry. “They are often more memorable than even photographs of war. Many

pictures were taken in the trenches, but it’s the poetry of Sassoon and Owen that survives in the

public’s mind.”

But what of today’s war poets? Britain has been at war for eight years now, yet there has been

precious little in the way of published verse. This was one of the motivations behind Injured: to

encourage troops from the modern era to write poems depicting their own experiences of battle.

The book, due out in time for Remembrance Sunday, is the brainchild of Captain John Jeffcock, a poet

and former Coldstream Guards officer. “I wanted to get a collection of poems from injured soldiers,”

he explains. “I thought it would be beneficial for them and would also provide a rare insight into

humanity. The poems are very honest, they are blunt.

"All profits from the sale of the book will go to the Army Benevolent Fund."

Indeed, the book has already received the backing of Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate. “Injured is a

humbling project, allowing the voices of those whose lives have been changed by war to speak to us

with the raw directness of feeling and experience,” she says.

“I’m delighted that there’s poetry still being written about conflict,” agrees Lord Baker.

“War leaves indelible memories for those involved, and those with the talent to put

them into words are truly remarkable.”

Read the extracts below and answer the questions that

follow:

Extract from The Telegraph website:

Colin Mitchell

Colin Mitchell, from Liverpool, is a Corporal who

joined the King's Regiment in 1990. The regiment became the 2nd Battalion The Duke of

Lancaster's in 2006. His career has seen him on numerous tours of Northern Ireland and

two tours of Iraq. He is married to Jackie and will be leaving the Army in a few weeks.

"The reason I wrote the poems was because it was my way of coping with the situation

at the time. I was in Iraq on Operation Telic 9 in 2006 and it was a very difficult tour at

that time in Basra. Some people kept diaries but for some reason I started to write the

poems, which I had not done since school a long time ago."

John Sinclair

John Sinclair, from Aberdeen, is a Warrant Officer in the 7 Scots Unit of the Territorial

Army. He volunteered for a tour of Afghanistan and is less than two weeks from his

return home. John has also served in Northern Ireland. He is married with three

children.

"I just felt I wanted to come out here and help. I wanted to do my bit. I felt we could

make a difference and I think we have. The inspiration for this poem came from

speaking to my 20-year-old son. I write a bit and Afghanistan has certainly given me lots

of material. There have been some quite harrowing things out here. But I also

remember other moments, like when we did a "road move". Everywhere we stopped

the children would come out and ask us for sweets."

Nathan Gunapalan

Private Nathan Gunapalan has served with the Territorial Army for three years. He lives

with his family in St Albans. Nathan completed a six-month tour of duty in Afghanistan

last year, attached to The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment.

"I hadn't experienced everything in war. I was on R&R [rest and recuperation] at Camp

Bastion and one of the guys in the platoon had died. we had to got to his ceremony

where his coffin was lifted onto a Hercules. I saw the reality of the situation, what

actually happened. It hit me hard, seeing the way they lifted him onto the aircraft,

seeing it fly off. I had done my English exam just before I deployed. I had been analysing
