Luckily some young students get to know why we wear poppies etc, I always buy my daughter a poppy and one of the enamelled small badge ones, (the normal one lasts 5 minutes) last time she was with me when buying them and I asked her "do yo know why we wear them", "Its for all who died in the War" turned out the school had made a point of educating them about Remembrance Sunday, that day I took her to the Remembrance Cross in the local village that has my Grandmothers Brothers names on (KIA WW1) I explained who it was etc, she soaked a lot of it up which I thought was very good for a 5 year old............although afterwards it was back to my little pony.
