Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, Fiona Jackson, OA Career Consultant, reflects on what the Poppy Appeal means to her.
What does Remembrance Sunday mean to you?
Remembrance Sunday is a time for deep personal reflection. I always think of my father first, who fought in the 8th Army (The Desert Rats) in the Second World War. I then remember everyone killed in conflict, and it is the Passchendaele centenary so I will focus on the casualties of that battle. Finally, as a former Army officer, I remember everyone I served with, especially those who gave their lives to their country.
