Wear a Purple Poppy: Remembering Animals in War

Wear a Purple Poppy: Remembering Animals in War by Fiona White, illustrated by Kathleen O’Hagan (Lothian Children’s Books) HB RRP ISBN 9780 734421630

Lest we forget, our four-legged diggers served too . . .  Here is a heart-warming, beautifully illustrated tribute to the animals that served alongside our diggers in war and peacetime. 

 

Wear a Purple Poppy honours their courage and dedication and captures the spirit and importance of wearing a purple poppy on the National Day for War Animals.

 

On the National Day for War Animals, we wear a purple poppy to remember those animals who have served, and those who continue to serve, alongside our soldiers. This heartwarming tribute explores the different roles of animals in wartime, and honours their strength, courage, and dedication. From the horses and the mules to the elephants, cats, and dogs, we wear a purple poppy for you.
