Several distinguished members of the Services who have died in recent years including Field Marshal Earl Haig, Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jellicoe, Admiral of the Fleet Earl Beatty, General Sir Webb Gillman and Major-General A. B. E. Cator, expressed the wish that wreaths given in their memory should be made at the Poppy Factory. The British Legion has its own organization for placing Poppy Wreaths on and photographing War Graves in France and Belgium. This section of the work is now incorporating the emblematical designs or badges of various Regi- ments, Associations, etc., can also be supplied. Particu- lars of these are given in the separate Badge Wreath Catalogue, copies of which can be had free on applica- ton from the Earl Haig’s British Legion Appeal, 29, Cromwell Road, South Kensington, London, S.W. 7 Destcn No. Pace ; Desicn No. Pace 29, Cromwell Road, la Wreath .. +e 10/6 10 | 24a Anchor .. oe D n— + South Kensington, 1 ” re Be: 7/6 10 |) 24b ” eis ae - = 7 x se 10/— 2]! 25 Cross oa ag. 106 4 London, S.W.7. 3 Cross ve he 12/6 9{| 29 Wreath .. $e 20/- 8 6a Wreath ..
