Sir, I am writing to ask the people of Oxford to give their generous support to this year's Poppy Appeal, just as they always have in the past.
At this time, and especially on Remembrance Sunday, we remember the sacrifices made by our armed forces in order that future generations are able to live in peace and freedom.
We are grateful that the Royal British Legion was formed to care for their needs and those of their dependants. The Poppy Appeal is the principal source of funds which directly support the Legion's welfare and benevolent work.
The calls upon the Legion's services are growing with each passing year and we in Oxford must continue to help to meet them.
Councillor Jim Campbell, Lord Mayor of Oxford
