This year, as we continue to mark the centenary of the First World War, in particular this year The Battle of The Somme, the Samui Ex Servicemen community on behalf of the Royal British Legion is asking everyone to support the Poppy Appeal for the memory of the fallen and the future of the living.

The Legion created the Poppy Appeal to help those returning from the First World War. A century on from the start of that conflict, they're still helping today's Armed Forces families in much the same way, whether coping with bereavement, living with disability, or finding employment.

The poppy is a powerful symbol - it is worn to commemorate the sacrifices of our Armed Forces and to show support to those still serving today and their loved ones.

Money raised through the Poppy Appeal goes directly to our welfare work, providing through-life care to anyone who currently serves in the British Armed Forces, who has previously served, and their families.

The Royal British Legion’s vital welfare work is entirely dependent on the public's support – so please give generously and wear your poppy with pride, knowing that with your donation you can help all of these people and the entire Armed Forces community to Live On

On Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao Poppies will be available from the 24^th October to the 20^th November 2016

A Service of Remembrance will be held on the 13^th November 2016 at The Shakespeare Pub in Plai Laem

LIVE ON

Hi Motard,

Apologies for any inconvenience caused but the box designated to the Boat Bar, for various reasons, has been relocated to the Bang Rak Cafe.

In Bang Rak you can also find Poppy Boxes at: The Office, M and M's, Premier Bar and The Chill Out Oasis.

The box destined for Jordan's in Maenam was also relocated to Sa Mons Restaurant.

Hope you can make it to the Service of Remembrance on Sunday 13th at The Shakespeare Pub.

Regards,

Samui Ex Servicemen

Poppies are worn each year in the period around Armistice Day on 11 November. Here is a look at how the tradition began and how it has developed through the years.
