Vicki Leigh's Poppy Project is a range of beautiful handcrafted coral polymer brooches and earrings that commemorate the centenary of ANZAC. All profits from ANZAC DAY & Rememberance (April /November) are donated to the LEGACY APPEAL.
Legacy is an Australian organisation, established in 1923 by ex-servicemen.[1] The organisation has the aim of caring for the dependents of deceased Australian service men and women. The dependants of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Malayan emergency and Vietnam War deceased are cared for. In addition the peacekeeping operations in East Timor, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have provided ongoing work for Legacy. Finally, any death which is deemed service-related is attended to by Legacy. [wikipedia]
The Centenary of Anzac 2014 to 2018 is an important period of Australia’s national commemoration. Marking 100 years since our involvement in the First World War, the Anzac Centenary is a time to honour the service and sacrifice of our original ANZACs, and the generations of Australian servicemen and women who have defended our values and freedoms, in wars, conflicts and peace operations throughout a Century of Service.
