I dont think i've worn a poppy since primary school in the 1960s..

it dos'nt seem to have become such a divisive issue until the the last few years...???

My great grandad volunteered for the first world war in his 40s..

He dug shrapnel out of his own body and carried on...

My grandad who was a boy soldier from orphanage to middle age
was amongst the first to serve in france in the 2nd world war and sickened by having to obliterate a line of germans on a bridge as he escaped dunkirk
carrying
a wounded officer on his back


i'm guessing the surviving soldiers from the last 2 world wars might think the nasty militant pro poppy fascists are a bunch of cunts..
