At Poppyscotland we work tirelessly to help veterans like Jack and the wider community, but we cannot do it without the help of the wider public. “Jack’s story, and the many others contained within our “Poppy Portraits” collection, showcase the bravery and selflessness of our Armed Forces community, past and present. Gordon Michie, head of fundraising and Learning at Poppyscotland said: “The Poppy Appeal was badly impacted last year but, despite this, Poppyscotland’s life-changing support continued uninterrupted throughout. However, due to the pandemic, donations fell by 28 per cent in 2020. The poppy appeal is Scotlands largest annual charity street collection, raising more than £2 million a year. In effect they have become like my second family, and that is why supporting the annual Scottish Poppy Appeal is crucial so veterans young and old know they will always have somewhere they belong.” When men and women come home from war or leave the Service, they need something, they need to have a purpose and a community that understands their needs and can support them. “One doesn’t know what the next decades will bring, but it is vital that work being done by Poppyscotland remains at the forefront of public consciousness. The selling of Poppies and the first Poppy Appeal in 1921 helped suffering veterans and their families, but it also brought the act of Remembrance to the forefront and it has remained ever since. And of course, my own first-hand experiences from my time in Service live with me every day. He said: “Being born in the 1920s, I grew up knowing the devastation of war.
Mr Ransom spent three years as a Prisoner of War in Myanmar (formerly Burma). One of the portraits is of 101-year-old Jack Ransom. The money raised from the poppy appeal helps the charity to support members of the armed forces community through funding and assistance. Portraits range from veterans, beneficiaries, and supporters.
