That's very interesting, I wondered how it worked, so you cannot ask for a poppy dedicated to a particular soldier?
I suppose that would create an administrative issue in itself, very nice little things though, research is always easier when someone does if for you, but, not always so rewarding.

Mine was named for a Lt J V Elderkin of the RFA, who died on 23rd September 1917.
I did a quick google and found this:

Why can't research always be like this? |
