I would consider it an honour to get some Haig Fund poppies for you and your friends next year.
They won't be around again until late October next year, but send me a pm with your details and I'll get some to you.
With happy memories of the various 'Dutch Valleys' I have visited in Sipovo, Banja Luka, As Samawa, Kandahar etc.
