Archie and Elizabeth had been living in a tied cottage (owned by the Ministry of Defence) in Bosbury, Herefordshire. As a widow, she was now obliged to vacate the property for another employee and return to the family home in nearby Ledbury. Joan grew up never knowing her father, but on her wedding day Joan walked from the church to the war memorial where she laid her bouquet in tribute to him. Our network of overseas branches and volunteers may be available to place a wreath on your behalf at a number of cemeteries around the world.

Our Armed Forces risk everything to protect our way of life. Your poppy shows you care and helps us continue our vital work. In Australia and New Zealand, Anzac Day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) is a day of remembrance celebrated on 25 April. Sprigs of rosemary are worn, which is a herb that grows wild in Gallipoli in Turkey where many Anzacs lost their lives in World War I. The grave of the Unknown Warrior contains the remains of one of the many thousands of British service personnel killed during the First World War whose bodies could not be identified.

If you would like to volunteer during the Poppy Appeal you can register your interest ahead of the appeal beginning in October. The Christian cross can often have other symbols on it that carry a special meaning. For example, you sometimes see the letters IHS emblazoned at its centre. This stands for the Latin phrase Iesus Hominum Salvator which means ‘Jesus Saviour of the World’. These letters have also been interpreted by some as standing for the phrase ‘I have suffered’, which has been of particular comfort to those who have lost those they love through tragedy and war.For the full range of wreaths, including badges and ribbons, please call the Supporter Care team on 0345 845 1945 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, with the following information:

And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way.

That help was needed in 1921 as four years of war had had a detrimental effect on the British economy. Unemployment stood at two million and many had returned from the front with little prospect of gainful employment. This impacted even more on the soldiers who had sustained life-changing injuries and of the six million who fought, 1.75m returned with a disability of some description. For half of them, those injuries left permanent damage. The Festival of Remembrance is held every year at the Royal Albert Hall to pay tribute to all those who serve and those who have given their lives for our peace and freedom. Photography is permitted, but the Metropolitan Police have powers to remove obstacles (such as camera tripods) where they obstruct public access or views. We ask spectators not to take photographs during the two-­minute silence when shutter noises can offend. It happened for the first time at 11am on Thursday, 11 November 1919, the very first Armistice Day - what we now call Remembrance Day following World War Two. The only person whose precedence at Remembrance services is absolute is the Sovereign. The precedence of all others, despite what appears in the published Table of Precedence, may vary from time to time depending on local traditions, the relationship between host and guests, and the requirements of courtesy and hospitality.

Silence in the square

Associations are asked to prioritise individuals who reflect the depth and breadth of the veteran community with priority given to: It was designed by the architect Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens and was only intended to stand in place for a week, in recognition of the first Peace Day celebrations in July 1919. It was a letter in the London Evening News which first proposed the possibility of paying respects to those who gave their lives in war with a short period of silent, respectful reflection. As any carer accompanying a veteran will be included within the 10,000-attendance cap; where appropriate, the option of one veteran assisting another for the duration of the dispersal should be considered. Built from Portland stone (the original was a temporary structure formed of wood and plaster), it was in place to be unveiled by King George V on Armistice Day 1920.
