Forget-Me-Not Day is a reminder that the Great War has fought on. Wounded soldiers returned to hospitalization long after the war ended, at that time. At that time, wounded soldiers were still in need of continued care long after the war ended. Though the wounded veterans' plight was not new, no facilities existed to care for them. In addition,, the government was unprepared for the number of returning wounded. Very few companies and organisations existed that could provide the care and assistance that veterans needed.
Eventually, a movement to remember and provide services to returning soldiers began in 1921. And that movement was started as a result of one wounded soldier.
