Purple poppy

The purple poppy is a symbol of remembrance in the United Kingdom for animals that served during wartime.

Historically the greatest number of animal casualties in conflict have been horses and ponies.

[3][4] The purple poppy symbol was subsequently picked up by the Murphy's Army charity in 2016 and continues to be sold by them.

Their campaign not only remembers animals lost in service but pays tribute to those who serve today working alongside the Emergency Services, in the Military, Prisons and Border Forces[5][6][7] There is a specified purple poppy day in addition to Remembrance Day on 11 November where purple poppies would be worn.

"[1] Some towns have included purple poppies alongside red ones in official Remembrance displays.
