What a great story of McCrae, one I never had read about. I take it this is why (fake) poppies are given out on veterans day?

yes .. in most of the Commonwealth countries of which Canada is part of Remembrance Day (Nov. 11th) is the day to honour the fallen and those who remain with memorial services at cenotaphs at 11am. In Canada we distribute poppies from the last Friday in October until Remembrance Day
