EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the 1930s as disabled ex-servicemen work together to create poppies for Earl Haig's Appeal. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the 1920s and the aftermath of the First World War. The veterans, some missing limbs and others with visible scars, are seen diligently working in a factory-like setting, each focused on their task of crafting the iconic poppies. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance and sacrifice, holds a profound significance for the British Legion and the people of the United Kingdom. Earl Haig's Appeal, also known as the Poppy Appeal, was established in 1921 to provide financial assistance to ex-servicemen and their families in need. The image of disabled veterans making poppies for this cause is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the ongoing support required to help those who had been affected. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a testament to the resilience and determination of the veterans and their commitment to their communities. The poppies they produced were sold to the public, with the proceeds going towards the Earl Haig's Fund to support those in need. The poppy continues to be a symbol of remembrance and hope, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of the sacrifices made during World War I.
