The Idea for the Poppy Umbrella
 The idea behind the creation of the umbrella
is special too; it was inspired by the poem In
Flanders Fields and the Flanders poppy fields of Belgium and France,
which burst into bloom during the spring and summer on the ravaged 1914-1918
battlefields of the First World War.
This eye-catching umbrella has been produced as a vivid
reminder of 'Remembrance' all year round. At the same time,
donations raised from retail sales
of the umbrella are given to UK Service charities and related good causes.
The photograph on the right is of First World War Veteran Harry Patch sheltering from the rain at the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Regimental Day in Bodmin, June 2007 (photograph courtesy of Nick Fear).
