As happens nearly every year, I lost the poppy that I'd bought earlier in the month, so I bought myself a new one today. All of which caused me to look around this morning and, what do you know; there weren't all that many people wearing poppies and, of those, not a lot were young. Ah well, to quote Rudyard Kipling:

"For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!"
