I had the presentation made from an ex Army colleague and friend, who is now a chainsaw carver. I purchased 2 and gave one to our local RBL which is used as a presentation piece as a yearly loan to anyone or company that assists the RBL the most during the year. I served 29 years in the Army and have a good insight, after being on a number of tours myself, of the sacrifice and hellush conditions that those service in the Great War had to endure. This poppy has pride of place in my home.
