Lest we forget...

It's sad that today so many young people don't remember what the Poppy symbol stands for, who introduced it and what it's all about.  The trouble is, of course, that all the British soldiers who died in the Opium wars of 1839->1860 have passed on now and no one remembers them.  Honestly Queen Victoria must be turning in her grave.
