Le Souvenir Francais

We Brits are used to the British Legion selling poppies in the memory of fallen servicemen in all wars at this time of year but we know little of the French association Le Souvenir Francais.
Founded in 1887 it has much the same aim, to honour the memory of all fallen for the patrie though whether French or not. Upkeep of memorials and passing information down the generations is also part of its mission.
Representatives will be present in many major cemeteries over the period of Toussaint with appeals for donations.
