At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, World War I ended. At 5am that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France. In November 2018, 100 years on from Armistice Day, the world will pause to reflect, pay respect and remember the people whose lives were taken, during the First World War. The poppy, Britain’s national symbol of remembrance, a pioneer species and a Moorcroft speciality for more than 100 years, takes a leading role in The Armistice Collection to offer respect to a whole generation whose sacrifices changed the world as we know it.

Supporting The Royal British Legion

The British Legion was founded in 1921 and was granted a Royal Charter in 1971 to mark its fiftieth anniversary, and henceforth has been called the Royal British Legion. Today the Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Service charity providing care and support to serving members of the Armed Forces, veterans of all ages and their families, through welfare, comradeship and representation as well as being the Nation's custodian of Remembrance.

Moorcroft will make a donation to the Royal British Legion’s fundraising campaign, from each piece sold in The Armistice Collection during 2018 helping to support the invaluable work they do each year.
