Just got back from Armistice weekend in Ypres, Flanders, where John McCrae wrote the poem in 1915. There were thousands present at the ceremont around the Menin Gate, the main British and Commonwealth memorial there, including many WW2 vets, but only 3 from WW1 - the youngest was 103!
Remembering on the battlefields themselves is becoming more and more 'popular' (if that is the phrase to use).
