NguHelen Peacock, World BEYOND War, Novemba 9, 2020

Iqela leCollingwood lendawo yoXolo, iPivot2Peace, likhethe indlela ekhethekileyo yokukhumbula uSuku lweSikhumbuzo nge-11 kaNov.^th.

Kodwa kuqala, imbali encinci.

Usuku lokukhumbula ekuqaleni lwalubizwa ngokuba “luSuku lweArmistice” ukukhumbula isivumelwano sokulwa esiphelise iMfazwe Yehlabathi yokuqala ngomhla we-11.^th iyure ye11^th Usuku lwe-11^th ngenyanga, ngowe-1918. Ekuqaleni yayijoliswe ekubhiyozeleni isivumelwano soxolo, kodwa intsingiselo yasuka ekubhiyozeleni uxolo yaya ekukhumbuleni amadoda nabafazi ababekhonza, nabaqhubeka bekhonza emkhosini. Ngomnyaka we-1931 iNdlu yaseKhanada ye-Commons yawisa umthetho oyilwayo owatshintsha ngokusemthethweni igama elithi "uSuku lokuKhumbula".

Sonke siqhelene no poppy ebomvu, kwaye sinxiba ngokuzingca. Yaziswa ngo-1921 njengomqondiso woSuku lweSikhumbuzo. Rhoqo ngonyaka, kwiintsuku ezikhokelela kuNovemba we-11^th, iipoppies ezibomvu zithengiswa yiRoyal Canadian Legion egameni lamagqala aseCanada. Xa sinxiba ipoppy ebomvu, sihlonipha abantu baseCanada abangaphezu kwe-2,300,000 abathe basebenza kwimbali yesizwe sethu kunye nangaphezulu kwe-118,000 abenze idini lokugqibela.

Asiyazi kangako Ipoppy emhlophe. Yaziswa okokuqala yi-Women's Co-operative Guild, ngo-1933, kwaye yayijoliswe njengophawu lokukhumbula onke amaxhoba emfazwe, ukuzibophelela eluxolweni, kunye nomngeni kwiinzame zokuncoma okanye ukubhiyozela imfazwe. Xa sinxibe i-poppy emhlophe, sikhumbula abo baye basebenza emkhosini wethu kunye nezigidi zabemi abafa emfazweni, izigidi zabantwana abaye baziinkedama ngenxa yemfazwe, izigidi zeembacu eziye zagxothwa kumakhaya azo. imfazwe, kunye nomonakalo oyityhefu wokusingqongileyo wemfazwe.

Ukuqonda ukubaluleka kweepoppies zombini, iPivot2Peace yenze isithsaba esikhethekileyo, esihonjiswe ngeepoppies ezibomvu nezimhlophe. Baza kushiya isithsaba eCollingwood cenotaph ngo-2:00pm ngoNovemba 11.^th, kwaye uthathe umzuzu ozolileyo ukuze uqinisekise ukuzibophelela kwabo eluxolweni. Ngamana esi sithsaba esibomvu nesimhlophe singabonisa onke amathemba ethu ehlabathi elikhuselekileyo nelinoxolo.
