THE Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal has triumphantly returned to Battle after a five-year hiatus, with support from the residents of Battle and neighbouring villages.
This year’s campaign has been marked by a huge show of community spirit, with volunteers from across these villages joining forces to man stands at Jempson’s, High Street, Tesco’s express (Muffin club) and the train station.
It comes as the town held its annual Remembrance ceremony this morning (Sunday) to honour those who lost their lives during the war.
Their dedication has not only raised vital funds but has also reinforced the region’s collective commitment to remembrance and supporting the Armed Forces community.
Local businesses throughout Battle and the surrounding villages have also rallied behind the cause, decorating their windows and placing Poppy boxes in shops, cafes, and other establishments.
The Royal British Legion has extended thanks to the residents, volunteers, and businesses of Battle and the neighbouring villages for their support.
Together, they have brought the Poppy Appeal back to life in Battle and villages, honouring the memory of the fallen and providing ongoing support for veterans and their families.
Keeping up with the history of famous battles. Battle Yarn-bombers, The Poppy Appeal and many shops were out in force showering the town with support.
Poppy Appeal Organiser Kieran Doyle said: “The Poppy Appeal will be back next year and is looking for volunteers to help in the town and villages make an even bigger impact.”
