Remembrance Poppy & Cross of St George, Historical Emblems of England encapsulated in the beautiful Lapel Pin.

ref LWF_51

Beautifully made in brass for durability, chrome plated and hard enamelled.

The Poppy – Traditional symbol of remembrance.

Saint Georges Cross – The flag of England is derived from Saint George’s Cross. A Symbol of English Identity & Patriotism.

Associated with the crusades, the red-on-white cross has its origins in the 12th century

There was a tradition claiming that Richard the Lionheart himself adopted both the flag and the patron saint at some point during his crusade.

Red crosses seem to have been used as a distinguishing mark worn by English soldiers from the reign of Edward I (1270s),or perhaps slightly earlier, in the Battle of Evesham of 1265.

Whilst not so obvious as the Scottish Saltire or the Welsh Dragon we are seeing a rise of English nationalism, and why not if you are English show it!

Truly patriotic symbol wear it with pride.
