Description
A postcard featuring a photograph of poppies in a field, the majority are red but amongst them are a few white poppies. White text over the top reads "white poppies FOR A CULTURE OF PEACE". The white poppy is handed out by a charity called Peace Pledge Union, which promotes peace. They say that the white poppy commemorates people who died in conflict, but focuses on achieving peace and challenging the way we look at war.
Back of the postcard reads: "White poppies for peace have been distributed at Remembrance time by the Peace Pledge Union since 1934."
