In addition to the standard poppy pin badge, I have managed to purchase a special one that remembers the important role played by pigeons in the conflict.
There are many online pages dedicated to them. One such resource can be found here
Unicum arbustum haud alit duos erithacos
(One bush does not shelter two Robins)
Zenodotus (3rd Century B.C.)

Pigeons played a very vital role during the war, and like many animals, have been underrated and overlooked.
Wear it with pride.
