As, owing to the numerous letters which he has received,
the Editor is unable to publish in full a letter from the Publicity Department of the British Legion, he has been asked to say that, for the benefit of Lord Haig's fund for the relief of dis- tress among ex-Service men, it is planned to sell Flanders Poppies throughout the Kingdom on Armistice Day (Nov. 11th). In order to sell the desired thirty millions of Flanders Poppies a very large number of sellers will be required. It is hoped that those ladies who so freely gave their services at home whilst our men were fighting overseas will come forward again. Those who desire to sell in the West End or City are asked to communicate with Captain W. G. Wilcox, Organizing Secretary of Earl Haig's (British Legion) Appeal, 1 Regent Street, S.W. 1, or, if outside this area, with local committees whose addresses will be furnished by Captain Wilcox. Those wishing to place memorial wreaths of Flanders Poppies on the Cenotaph or other War Memorials can obtain these from Earl Haig's Fund, 33 St. James's Square, from which address an illustrated leaflet, showing sizes and prices, will be sent on application. Wreaths are on view. at Messrs. E. Goodyear, Royal Arcade, Bond Street, and at London Gardens, Ltd., 118 Knightsbridge, S.W. 1.
