"The purple poppy has long been a symbol of remembrance for animals lost in service but until recently was much less well known than the traditional red poppy. The aim of our Campaign is to give the purple poppy its rightful recognition, and thus ensure that the animals who served and continue to serve are not forgotten." - Murphy's Army
Remembering the sacrifices made by both humans and animals in times of war. We're joining The Cat On My Head for Sunday Selfies.
