I will buy a Poppy for sure Moamajohn, But sorry I won't be any where near Echuca, so will have to buy it elsewhere. 

As some of you know ? I am not long back from a 3 month trip to Europe I am Pleased to say one of My Highlights of the trip Was my stay at Villers Bretonneux, France, and the time I spent at the Australian War Memorial, High on the Hill Looking over ''The Somme''  Which today is a very Beautiful place with the sweeping green plains, and Pastures And dotted with the little towns and villages,, ---- compared to the Ugly Place it was during the war, It was nothing but miles and miles , of Mud, Blood, Guts, Pain, Death, and Despair , [ and Mateship ] 

Whilst there I got MY OWN RED POPPIES, picked by me, from THE FIELDS OF THE SOMME,  I dried them out , then Pressed them in a heavy Book, and then I laminated them Now I am looking for a Suitable frame, to put them in, with some Photo's we took of the Memorial and the Somme, and Villers Bretonneux,. 

Now is there any better reminder of a Trip to Europe that that,  [ I don't think so ? ]      LEST WE FORGET.
