A number of new allegations about misspending of legion funds or questionable activities have been forwarded to my email. The response to the article has been significant. Legion executives say the privacy of legion executives would be violated by such disclosure. That effort, by legion member Lorne Tyson and others, has been shot down. Those members also want to find out about the cost of the travel and expenses paid to the executives, as well as the legion money used to finance the travel of their spouses and family members. Then, they must lean forward to place the wreath down before straightening up their posture. Some legion members had hoped to use the organization’s convention this week in Newfoundland to force Dominion Command, the legion’s administrative organization, to reveal details about the executives there who receive over $100,000 a year. When laying the wreath, the person must walk slowly up to the memorial and stop. Apparently this is seen as disrespectful Neither of us had heard that this could be offensive before It made me want to look into some common poppy etiquette.
She shared a story with me from last year when some one berated her for wearing a poppy after Remembrance Day. The article also looked at concerns raised by legion members about questionable practices in the organization, its Dominion Command headquarters in Ottawa, and financial accountability for the millions of dollars it receives from the Canadian public from the sale of poppies. Today I had a conversation with a fellow public historian, Steph Johns, about poppy etiquette.
