Appeal Disabled Fund Haig Haigs Legion Poppies Poppy Remembrance Servicemen Ex Servicemen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures a group of disabled ex-servicemen diligently making poppies for Earl Haig's Appeal in the 1920s. The men, who bravely served their country during World War I, are now using their skills to support a cause close to their hearts. The photo, taken in the 1930s, showcases the dedication and resilience of these individuals as they work together in a factory setting. Each poppy they create represents a symbol of remembrance and gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Earl Haig's Appeal was established to provide assistance and support to veterans in need, and these men are proud to contribute to such a noble cause. Their efforts not only help raise funds for the appeal but also serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by all servicemen during times of conflict. As we reflect on this vintage photograph, we are reminded of the importance of honoring our heroes and supporting those who have served our nation. The British Legion's Poppy Fund continues to carry on this tradition today, ensuring that the memory of those lost in war will never be forgotten. This lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit and resilience of our servicemen, both past and present.
