What a remarkable story. Please do not forget to buy and wear yours!
LINKAuschwitz survivor Ron Jones, who turned 100 this year, admits he has become "a bit of a celebrity" after more than three decades as a poppy seller.
The former soldier, who spent two and a half years in the Nazi concentration camp before being forced on a 'death march' across Europe, has been collecting for the Poppy Appeal since 1981.
"I've been selling poppies for about 30 years... every year for a fortnight, practically every day," he said.

Alas it seems that some folk on the forum don't even think old people shouldn't even have a vote.

Are you spoiling for a tussle again Andy ?Originally Posted by Andyg
Nope. It's the G&D and the tread is about a person who deserves our respect.

A very brave man. Hero indeed. Visited Auschwitz and Berkenau a few weeks ago. Very though provoking.
Hope is the last to die!!
