Can get a couple on ebay but obviously not sure of the source and would rather money went to the cause . Just phoned British Legion and apparently they are not sold through their Poppy Shop but have given me a number.

Worked out well as my nephew came up from Wales and the last time he was here was for my dads funeral about 10 years ago. Attached Files
