| General Description : | From the souvenir sheet of 2 stamps Gum Type: P.V.A. Photography: Peter Bregg; iStockphoto OFDC Cancellation Location: Ottawa, Ontario Every year on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we share a moment of silence to honour the memory of the men and women of Canada’s Armed Forces who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. This tradition provides an opportunity to express our collective sense of sorrow for the loss that war produces, as well as a chance to rejoice in the legacy of peace and freedom that our soldiers have defended and preserved. Vibrant red poppies are given prominence on the stamp and inside the booklet. “Thanks to Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae and his well-known poem, “In Flanders Fields,” the poppy and Remembrance Day are deeply linked in the minds of Canadians. The signature “V” for “Victory” in the stamp’s background (also featured on Canadian nickels from 1943 to 1945) expands on the theme of hope and pride. |
