Thank you TBT,
If you don't mind, I will answer you publicly. I can understand why you wanted to send me a PM, going on Question Time soon are you!
My first post was nothing to do with being a PC statement, purely pointing out that the Poppy has no religious ties.
Rather than make this a long post, and doubt your military history knowledge, may I point out to you (only because it was you who first mentioned, 'World War 1 cemeteries') that the title 'Commonwealth War Graves Commission' begins with the word....Commonwealth.
If you think my first post gives ammunition to religious radicals....what do you think a Poppy with a cross as its shadow represents!
Talk about giving the opportunity of linking the Poppy to the crusades!
May I suggest you give 'Moina Michael' a quick Google.
