Poppy 100 Anniversary
The Poppy 100 Anniversary was today and the Royal Canadian Legion is running a campaign to mark the occasion and I have attached the link.
https://legion.ca/remembrance/poppy-100-anniversary Does anyone collect the remembrance poppies? I have a few and will start off with the current Canadian version. |

The differences I remember were the colour of the centre. Green for a while, now black.

Black and green if I recall...they used to have two pieces for the center.

In true MLU fashion I am taking this on a tangent early on.
One of my most prized possessions on Remembrance Day, when out with a vehicle is this plastic poppy, with attachment loops on the back for zip ties that I had a friend purchase from the Royal British Legion as they won't mail order overseas. Really sets a vehicle off well and gives the visual statement of the display a meaning

Robin, I really like those car-sized poppies and I have one I bought in the UK a decade ago from a Veteran selling them for the Royal British Legion in Charing Cross Station along with this British version. |
