kats n greys Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 This November marks the 90th anniversary of the end of The Great War. The Royal British Legion is honouring the memory of the War's heroes with a unique tribute. We're planting a Flanders' Field of Poppies at the Menin Gate in Flanders. Join our salute by sending us a personal message, which will be written on a poppy to be planted on your behalf. The poppies will be planted beside the Menin Gate Memorial at Ypres (Ieper) in Belgium for Armistice Day on Tuesday 11 November. Help us to create this tribute and our special Flanders' Field will be awash with scarlet. There is also a link to the Field of Rememberance.
