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.

An update for this year , you can now order a "Personalised Certificate" from Poppy Shop that you can dedicate to a specific soldier.
https://www.poppyshop.org.uk/first-w...rtificate.html
When the "Flanders Fields" poppy was issued it did not come with a certificate , I later went onto the Every One Remembered website and dedicated the poppy to a Gunner with the same family name as mine.
I am now in the process of having a personalised certificate made giving the soldiers name , regiment , rank , service number , date died and burial place.
If you know who you want to "remember" it is simple , if not you can do a search and find someone by name/regiment etc.
