(Limited Edition)
2025, commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the cessation of hostilities that defined this tumultuous period in history.
This anniversary offers a poignant opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by countless individuals during the war, particularly those who served in Hong Kong.
In honour of the brave men and women from various nations who defended Hong Kong and ultimately made the ultimate sacrifice, the RBL Hong Kong and China Branch has commissioned a Special Edition Poppy Bar Pin. This exclusive pin serves not only as a symbol of remembrance but also as a tribute to the valour and dedication exhibited by those from all nations who are laid to rest in the military cemeteries of Hong Kong.
We invite you to take a moment to watch the video below, which narrates the history and significance of the Hong Kong Poppy Bar Pin. This visual journey will provide insights into the deep-rooted connections between the pin and the legacy of those who fought to protect our freedoms. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of their sacrifices and the importance of remembering our shared history.
On October 17th, we will officially launch our Poppy Appeal, during which we will accept donations for a limited edition of 2,200 Poppy Pins. Each pin features a dedication on the reverse side, honouring the memory of an individual interred in one of Hong Kong’s Military Cemeteries.
Each Poppy Bar Pin is presented in a decorative box and includes a card that details the individual being commemorated, including their resting place.
Recommended minimum donation is HKD 500
As a charity based in Hong Kong, we may not sell the pins; however, we welcome donations to obtain one.
The consensus appears that a minimum donation of HK$500 is suggested and can provide tax receipts on request.
