“We will be promoting donations for a poppy to be worn with pride in remembrance of those who died in battle. The money goes to those in need who have served in uniform,” said Gordon Harrower of the Highway Shellhole and the SA Legion.
The cost per poppy is a donation of any amount. To assist with selling poppies to the public, contact Gordon at 082 881 3032 or SA Legion’s Bryan Dore on 076 814 6177.
