Wear a Flanders Poppy!

REMEMBER! Armistice

Day

NOVEMBER 11th.

The foes to be met to-day by ex-service men.. consist of physical disability, trade depression and consequent unemployment.

This distress is shared by their dependants. Take up this quarrel by giving a little more for your poppy than you did last year.
