Notes

We strongly recommend History Today magazine, the source of “War of the Poppies.” The headings in the QuikScan version were added by the QuikScanners.

The original narrative did not use headings. Headings were added by the QuikScanners.

Four of the less significant illustrations were deleted from the QuikScan version, but can be seen—with their captions—at the bottom of this page. The captions of the graphics that were included have been slightly edited. For the true, archival version of this publication, see History Today, volume 52, issue 5, 2002.
