Abstract
The next two chapters explore the historical background to the awareness ribbon campaigns of the 1990s. Before we look at the specific origins of the yellow, red, and pink ribbons, we must consider possible historical precedents to these charity symbols. To this end, this chapter examines flag days and the Armistice Day poppy.
