WHY DO WE WEAR THE PURPLE POPPY?

WHY DO WE WEAR THE PURPLE POPPY?

10th, Nov 2021 General News

Animals like horses, dogs and pigeons were often drafted into the war effort, and those that wear the purple poppy feel their service should be seen as equal to that of human service. 

In particular, many horses were killed or injured in World War One.

Donations to the Purple Poppy Appeal, which is organised by the War Horse Memorial, will go to charities like World Horse Welfare and the animal charity, Blue Cross.
