Correspondence and poetry from World War I refers to abundant fields of red poppies on the Western Front. It is thought that artillery shells and shrapnel agitated the earth and exposed the seeds to the light the poppies needed to germinate. The Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia, the forerunner to the Returned and Services League (RSL), officially adopted the red poppy emblem for its remembrance activities in August 1921
