The year’s poster depicts the remembrance poppy and a barbed wire fence. The poppy has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war was inspired by the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields”. The barbed wire represents the thousands of miles wire that was spread by both sides in WWI.
