“I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?'” WorldYearsFirstsMeanChildrenDoeWarRememberMovingYoungFoundLossTeacherFlowerPaperRedAskingExtraordinaryEightNineWar Of The WorldsYoung ChildrenNine YearsPoppiesFirst World WarVery MovingPaper Flowers Author:Tom Hiddleston
