This red poppy prestige cover features 'For service and sacrifice' quote printed on cover.

Correspondence and poetry from World War I refers to abundant fields of red poppies on the Western Front. It is thought that artillery shells and shrapnel agitated the earth and exposed the seeds to the light the poppies needed to germinate. The Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia, the forerunner to the Returned and Services League (RSL), officially adopted the red poppy emblem for its remembrance activities in August 1921.

In Australia, while the start of World War I brought out an overwhelming sense of patriotism and loyalty to Britain, some organisations railed against the entire idea of war as a means of resolving disputes, especially once the debate over conscription gripped the country. These organisations were largely run by women and included the Women’s Peace Army, established in Victoria by suffragette Vida Goldstein, and the Australian Peace Alliance.
