I agree in that the centenary of WW1 isn't to be "celebrated", but I see it more as an act of rememberance for those both german, British and allies who lost their lives, also limbs and sanity fighting that war. So much for WW1 as the war to end ALL wars!!! I wear a red poppy, not as I believe it glorifies the bloodshed, but as a rememberance for all those who shed blood in that war. It was that and also hearing war experiences of friends who served got me involved as a poppy seller for the Royal British Legion. Just wondering where does the money raised by sale of white poppies go, yes if ALL the money was donated to the RBL or Combat Stress, I wouldn't object to white poppies being sold. It was these men, some of them teenage boys, not children , but not quite fully adult men who fought for our freedom!!! I wonder what the WW1 generation would think if they could see Britain today!!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2594648/War-Horse-author-Michael-Morpurgo-insists-First-World-War-centenary-not-celebrated.html
