Remembrance 2014

Poppy seed stamps commemorate the historic and significant occasion of the Centenary of the First World War.

The stamps from Jersey Post present an artistic representation of ‘Remembrance’. 

Delicate watercolours of field poppies provide iconic symbols to commemorate the historic and significant occasion of the Centenary of the First World War on 4 August 2014, 100 years after Great Britain declared war on Germany. ‘Remembrance’ also pays tribute to all those who have died for their country in all wars ever since.

Poppy seeds have been encapsulated in two of the designs, sealed behind a thin, transparent, bio-degradable plastic cover. 

The stamps can be planted and will gradually decompose as the seeds start to grow, producing the striking red flowers which are so strongly associated with remembrance.
