The second Sunday of November every year marks remembrance day in the United Kingdom, a day where we take a moment to pay our respects to the brave soldiers who fought for our freedoms in wars around the world.
To mark the occasion, unique military themed gifts are often shared and memorabilia placed in homes and gardens. One of our most popular items for this occasion is the metal fallen tommy soldier.
Some of the garden ornaments include the saying 'Lest we Forget', a phrase from a poem from Rudyard Kipling which became popularised as a statement of remembrance after world war one, is a particularly poignant statement for a VE day gift.
Others in the military gifts feature the poppy, a bright red flower with simple, distinctively shaped petals that many say represent the bloodshed from the fallen soldiers. Others claim that the flowers bloomed over the unmarked graves of fallen soldiers on battlefields, their soil having been disturbed in the fighting and subsequent gravedigging.
To honor the brave fighter pilots, there are also pieces of military memorabilia in the silhouette of the various small planes piloted by British and other allied forces during the wars, such as the Spitfire, Lancaster and Tiger Moth.
