Re: Poppy from tower of london
Hi Brenda,
we've just received ours, we bought them in remembrance of our grandfathers who survived WW1, both were seamen before the war, and my wife found whilst researching our family histories that they both joined the same regiment, East Yorkshire, then the Durham Light Infantry, where my wife's grandfather won the Military medal !, then both went back to sea , my grandfather Herbert Rennison,to the MN as AB, and my wife's Grandfather Sidney Thomas Attwood to the fishing industry eventually becoming a trawler skipper and master of a boom defence vessel in WW2, all of this time they never knew each other!
