Poppy Stamp magnet
Our IWM exclusive poppy stamp fridge magnet was released in 2014 to mark to one hundred years since the start of the First World War. Our poppy stamp range was developed by IWM with Royal Mail and features a specially commissioned image which was painted by artist Fiona Strickland.
The poppy quickly became symbolic of the war, its tendency to spring up on disturbed earth made it a common sight among the broken ground of shell-torn battlefields. The poppy's deep red seemed to evoke the blood of wounded men, while the flower's delicate petals might hint at the fragility of life itself.
