What is Poppyscotland?

Poppyscotland is the charity that supports veterans and their dependants in Scotland. It was founded in 1921 under the name of The Earl Haig Fund Scotland by Field Marshal Earl Haig, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in France, 1915-1919, to provide practical help to ex-Service men, women and dependants in need.

Why the Poppy?

Inspired by John McCrae's poem, In Flanders Fields, the poppy became the symbol of remembrance for those who gave their lives for their country and the first Poppy Appeal was held in November 1921.

What happened to the name Earl Haig Fund Scotland?

We introduced a new title – Poppyscotland - to cover our expanding functions, especially round-the-year fundraising. We believe that not enough people understand the link between the Earl Haig Fund Scotland and the Scottish Poppy Appeal. The new title will remove this problem. We hope that everyone from school pupils upwards will now understand the association.

The name Earl Haig Fund Scotland will not disappear but will continue to be the legally registered name.

Absolutely disgraceful as Rememberance Sunday draws near and as an Ex-Serviceman can only view this deplorable action by Royal Mail as contemptious at the most.

It's like that time someone from Liverpool council asked a firm on the Dock Road to remove the St George flags when the World Cup was on in case they offended any Muslims. The local paper got in touch with someone from the council of mosques who said "We're not offended. We're English too and we want England to do well in the World Cup." It will be someone trying to make a name for himself. I've got a few for him.

Yep, mate ..........People like that seem keen to spread dis-unity where they can't find any. I've a suspicion that they are right-wing nutters in disguise.

More likely that celtc fans will be the offended ones in Glasgow, they take great delight in singing republican terrorist songs and about killing British soldiers, Poppy sellers don't go to parkhead on match days for fear of being attacked, they were the only club last season that didn't have a minutes silence on rememberance day as they knew that their fans would shout through it, they have previous in this as well

[strangler]

Whoever is responsible for this and for whatever reason it`s a disgrace. I`d kick up a fuss about it if I were you there must be plenty there that feel the same way as you do.

I dont want to get involved in a political argument on a forum for posties, however Celtic fans have won awards for thier behaviour at a time when rangers fans were throwing bricks at a spanish teams bus. You sir sound like a right arsehole
