Three Are Credited With 'Poppy' Idea
New York May 30 1940 recounts competing claims over who originated the Flanders field poppy memorial practice. Miss Moina Michael of Georgia is noted as the first to distribute poppies in 1918 and Milwaukee’s Mrs Mary Hancey is also credited with starting the annual poppy day sale. Madame Guerin of New York and others are discussed, but Legion records largely recognize Miss Michael with the idea. The American Legion has not formally resolved the dispute, though Miss Michael received the Distinguished Service Medal from the Auxiliary for her role.
