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.
That is correct.

The first you know of the soldier that your poppy is dedicated to is when you see him named on the card when you open the box.

My first Somme poppy was named to a man in the Tyneside Irish, and I could not live much further away from Tyneside if I tried.
