I'm a bit shocked at how few poppies I'm seeing around today  I seem to be buying almost one a day as I keep losing them. I've just looked and today's has disappeared too. Well, my mother sells them so getting them is easy, she just demands more money for each replacement. Well, I don't mind paying, I just wish I could keep them for a few days longer. |

I'm a bit shocked at how few poppies I'm seeing around today I know! I even had to remind my colleagues at work that it was almost 11 o clock.

I have to admit that I don't have one, in fact I don't think I've even seen anywhere selling them this year Poppies aren't for sale you are invited to wear one in exchange for a charitable donation, if they were sold you'd have to pay VAT on them. 
You know what I mean |

 my poppy (large size) got left on the car dash today, but we did observe the two minute silence at the office. They sounded the fire alarm briefly at the start and end, yes they had warned us all first.
We will stop shooting at the club on Sunday well before 11am for the two minute silence. |

What are the poppies for? The poppy fields of France where so many of our soldiers died. The poppy came to signify the sacrifice and made by those men, and they have been remembered that way since. The revenue generated by the sale of the poppies we buy goes towards charities aimed at helping veterans. Something that has sadly remained relevant for nearly a century. |

The revenue generated by the sale of the poppies we buy goes towards charities aimed at helping veterans. Something that has sadly remained relevant for nearly a century. In the years immediately after the war poppies flowered in the disturbed ground of the battlefields. The design of the artificial poppy hasn't changed since it was introduced by the charity and it was designed so it could be assembled one handed by disabled ex-servicemen. They are still made today by a small team of disabled ex-servicemen. http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/ |

Just got in from my little ones first Cub Scouts Remembrance Day Parade, he placed a small wooden cross in the village Memorial Garden in memory of Chief Petty Officer John BUNKER of H.M.S. Goliath, Royal Navy. Lost with his ship 13th May 1915. Aged 47. Husband of Ellen Bunker, of 8, Poundwell St., Modbury. No known grave.
In April 1915 HMS Goliath went to the Dardanelle’s where she bombarded Cape Helles in support of the landings there, and was damaged by Turkish gun fire on the 28th April and 2nd May. On the night of 12-13 May, HMS Goliath and HMS Comwallis were chosen to support French troops on the right of the Allied line. The Goliath anchored off Morto Bay. On the same night, Lieutenant-Commander Fine, a German officer serving with the Turkish fleet, obtained permission to take the destroyer Muavertet-I-Milet (Built in 1909, 600 tons, top speed 33 knots, armed with three torpedo tubes,) through the Straits to attack the Allied battleships. Aided by fog, he got within torpedo range of the Goliath before he was spotted and challenged. He fired three torpedoes, and then escaped to safety. The first torpedo hit the Goliath by her forward 12in turret. She then began to list to port. The second torpedo hit by the forward funnel. The ship continued to turn over, and was nearly on her beam ends when the third torpedo hit near her aft 12in turret. She then turned turtle, floated upside down for a couple of minutes and then sank bows first. Of the 750 men then serving on her, 570 were lost. The other Cubs, Scouts and Cadets placed similar crosses in memory of Modbury's fallen. We shall never forget. |
