Description

*The Book of the Poppy* is published to coincide with the 2014 Poppy Appeal and the centenary of the beginning of World War I. Its aim is not only to provide understanding about the history of this unique symbol and the vital work of the Royal British Legion (RBL) Poppy Appeal, but also to inspire reflection on what the poppy has meant to past and present generations. The heart of the book focuses naturally on the Great War dead, symbolised in the blood-red flower. They not only include British casualties, but also those of the Commonwealth nations and of Britain's former enemies.
