Purple Poppies

l love this idea. For Remembrance Day this year we have seen Purple Poppies to commemorate all the animals that have died serving man in War.
It's incredible to think that in WW1, 9 million horses ponies, camels, mules, donkeys and pigeons died.  8 million of that amount being horses.
It's been harder to track down exact (ish) numbers for WW2 . It seems to be about the 5 million mark with all countries combined. Again , staggering figures.

So at the going down of the Sun , l put my purple poppy in Clip's head collar so that we did remember and we did think about all those that died. Man and beast .

l think its well worth taking a bit of time to remember them indeed...

Lest We Forget....
