Buy a poppy
Poppies are sold during street collections to help raise funds to assist in welfare work among military veterans.
Every year, in November, hundreds of men, women and children all over the world pause to remember and honour those who fell in wars and conflicts.
Remembrance Day is the time to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war.
The day is observed on November 11, to recall the end of World War One.
The major hostilities of this war formally ended in the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month of 1918.
Prior to Remembrance Day, poppies are sold during street collections to help raise funds to assist in welfare work among military veterans.
Collections in the Brakpan area will be held at selected local shopping centres.
When you buy a poppy, you are paying tribute to those who have died and you are helping those who survived.
