Poppy Fundraiser
Almost missed this one , it was in a small joblot that included some poppy pins I already have (and a set of poppy earings ! ) .
It goes well with other "supporter" pins I have. 1. Poppy Fundraiser - 2020 given to those who took part in various sponsored fundraising activities. 2. Poppy Supporter - 2021 3. Legion Companion - 2015/16 (?) They were introduced after VE70 campaign in Gold/Silver/Bronze and given to those who signed up to donate a set amount each month. .

Managed to do a swap and an "Overseas 2017" pin has just arrived !
No one has heard of (or seen) any earlier ones , so that is another 'set' completed. .

Another mini !
Just got this 'mini' soldier pin , I now have three different pins this size. They are all well made (not cheap copies) so possibly made for Riders Branch.

I still think RBL made a big mistake not allowing them to use the traditional Poppy. .

Picked up the Waterside Poppy pin and wondered when the "Poppy Man" figure first appeared .
I have a couple of pins from 2011/2012 , so thought it must have been around that time. Then I discovered that the RBL had posted a "Poppy People" page on Facebook in 2007 with a picture of the "Poppy Man" logo. A bit more digging and I discovered an article about an RBL campaign from 2003 : Quote:
