Poppy Cabs
Each year , Poppy Cabs London provide a free taxi service for military veterans attending Remembrance Sunday events. They also have badges produced and the donations are shared between the Royal British Legion and the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans. ?
This year they have produced 2 badges but this could possibly be the last year they do so. .

Royal Military Police 2023
This unexpected but most welcome poppy pin arrived this morning (Thank You !). It is a great addition to my set.
These pins were first produced in 2013 and in 2020 they had to change the shape/design due to RBL copyright rules. Nice to have one with the King's cypher. .

"The Poppy Lady"
Here are two unique badges produced for special events in France , they relate to Madame Anna Guérin .
2021 : 11 November 2021 event in Aubigny-sur-Nère , a town square was inaugurated in her name (Espace Anna Guérin ) and the Mayor gave the VIPs a badge to wear . 2022 : The Souvenir Français (French equivalent to the CWGC) had an exhibition about Madame Anna Guérin and chose the same design as Aubigny had used the previous year. The exhibition was part of an Entente Cordiale weekend at Montreuil-sur-Mer , to commemorate the restoration of Earl Haig's statue in the town Note : Aubigny-sur-Nère has a 600 year history with Scotland/Royal House of Stuart . .

Madame Anna Guérin was a fascinating lady whose involvement in the Poppy Appeal/Remembrance is often overlooked . Recently a great book about her was published and the author (Heather Johnson) also has the most detailed site about the history of the Poppy Appeal in the UK and Commonwealth.
