Purple Poppy Magnet - Remembrance

The purple poppy remembers animal victims of war and human violence, as well as honouring and recognising animals within the armed forces who bravely serve and work the frontline today.  Animals cannot volunteer and have no choice in becoming involved in war when they serve alongside human military personnel.  Animals that have served include dogs, pigeons, camels, donkeys, mules, horses and even elephants.  There were many other animals such as cats and roosters that served as mascots and companions.
