I can recall school assemblies where we held a minutes silence. It isn't done anymore. A few places & some broadcasters follow the tradition, I wore my poppy badge but seemed to be the only one with a poppy. When I commented I was told that we (NZ) only wear our poppies on ANZAC Day. Someone said the Aussies don't wear poppies on ANZAC Day but keep with the 11/11 tradition? I did see a broadcast from an Oz channel & the news readers were wearing poppies... our weren't & I think it is a bit off. |
